The lightweight boats proved to be a significant 'irritant' to the enemy in terms of their effectiveness in combat, hence the nickname 'Mosquito.' The book covers the use of PT boats in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean theaters, and is based on action reports, squadron histories, and other naval records, plus diaries, letters, anecdotes, etc. supplied by PT crewmen. Included are six maps.
