520    Small though they were, PT boats played a key role in 
       World War II, carrying out an astonishing variety of 
       missions where fast, versatile, and strongly armed vessels
       were needed. Called "weapons of opportunity," they met the
       enemy at closer quarters and with greater frequency than 
       any other type of surface craft. Among the most famous PT 
       commanders was John F. Kennedy, whose courageous actions 
       in the Pacific are now well known to the American public. 
       The author of the book, another distinguished PT boat 
       commander in the Pacific, compiled this history of PT-boat
       operations in World War II for the U.S. Navy shortly after
       V-J Day, when memories were fresh and records easily 
       assessable. Bulkley provides a wealth of facts about these
       motor torpedo boats, whose vast range of operation covered
       two oceans as well as the Mediterranean and the English 
       Channel. Although their primary mission was to attack 
       surface ships and craft close to shore, they were also 
       used effectively to lay mines and smoke screens, to rescue
       downed aviators, and to carry out intelligence and raider 
       operations. The author gives special attention to the 
       crews, paying well-deserved tribute to their heroism, 
       skill, and sacrifice that helped to win the war.
