WWII "PT Boat 146 Notes" War Diary Log Book, Documenting 10-01-43 thru 12-18-44!The log book measures around 8-1/4" x 14" with a fabric cover. Binding is a bit loose but all pages are present and intact. Slight water stains throughout but overall quite complete and legible. This book documents the daily activities of World War II vessel PT 146, including normal boat maintenance and patrol information from October 1, 1943 through December 18, 1944 as it patrolled the South Pac...ific area including New Guinea. It also documents various passengers transported, test firings, firing on enemy vessels, rescuing downed pilots, etc. Interesting reading for sure.According to Harold L.
