Fast & Furious PT Boats

They were made of wood, powered by gasoline, and crewed by men barely out of high school, yet they terrified Japanese convoys and launched the naval legend of a future U.S. President. In this episode, we chart the rise and legacy of PT Boats: the fast, fierce, and fearless torpedo boats that prowled the Pacific in World War II. From daring rescues and shark-infested swims to guerrilla warfare on the high seas, the story of the PT Boats is as thrilling as it is underappreciated.
