Most Americans know the story of John F. Kennedy and his boat, PT-109. Actually, what most people know about the 109 story is not the whole story. People do know the high lights of the “aftermath” of the sinking of the 109 (JFK saving his crew) but not exactly how the boat was sunk in the first place. Until recently, none of us had the full story.
Newly released Japanese war documents indicate that JFK was, literally, asleep at the wheel when a Japanese destroyer stalked and destroyed PT-109. Yet, despite this negligence, the full story of Kennedy's war service as a PT boat captain is a heroic one.
5000 words. Illustrated with 5 high-res b&w photographs plus a color painting of Kennedy's second boat, PT-59, by the author.
Joe Hinds is the author of the eleven-volume Definitive Illustrated History of the Torpedo Boat, 1280-1945 (Nimble Books).
