Devil Boats (Full Version) PT Boat Video

A Warner Brothers produced Hollywood Gung-Ho WWII film of the U.S. Navy Motor Torpedo Boat Service (PT). The short film follows a new officer recruit, Bob Palmer, through the Navy’s Melville, Rhode Island, Motor Torpedo Boat Training Center, and culminating in his nearly single hand win over the Japanese Navy. Well, maybe this is a little over dramatization on my part, but clearly evident while watching the movie. It’s all good fun since we have the luxury of seeing the war from a distant era, and that we didn’t experience it personally. This is clearly a typical (one of hundreds) WWII Hollywood propaganda films produced during the trying times of World War II. (Please note, the term propaganda is not a negative term but a class of film types, used world wide buy both the good guys and the bad guys)!
