Devil Boats - Michael Aye

The war in Europe is still going on. Japan has bombed Pearl Harbor. Suddenly it's World War II. General Douglas MacArthur, surrounded by the Japanese, is saved from the jaws of death by Lieutenant Bulkley and his small group of PT boats. These small, heavily gunned wooden boats are sent to do battle with the might of the Japanese forces. This Mosquito Fleet was so successful that the Japanese dubbed them "Devil Boats." Young Matt Blue and his hometown friend, Sidney Hinson, are suddenly waging war against the overwhelming odds of Japan's might in the South Pacific, in these wooden Devil Boats.
