Documentary on the PT boats of WWII. The story of John F. Kennedy and PT 109 is celebrated in this programme, along with the rescue of General Douglas MacArthur from the Phillippines by Lt. John D. Bulkley's PT boat. Known as the Mosquito Fleet, the small, fast and heavily armed PT boats did much to turn the tide in the Pacific, the Mediterranean and in the English Channel during WW II. The documentary also follows a group of Portland, Oregon PT boat Veterans as they attempt to resurrect a PT boat from the ravages of time and neglect, 60 years after the war's end.
