U.S. Forces in the Pacific - 1st Marine Division and PT Boat Squadrons

The exploits of the U.S. Marine Corps in the Pacific during World War II are legendary, with the ‘old’ 1st Division standing out for special recognition. The P.T. boat squadrons, however, were a new weapon in the armory of the U.S. Navy, and being used for both dangerous combat and rescue work. In this heavily illustrated book both outfits are examined in detail, with fascinating information on their organization and training, weapons and equipment, and combat operations.
