ATM7004 JFK PT-109 1/80 Scale Wooden Model Assembly Kit Atlantis Models
PT-109 was a PT boat (patrol torpedo boat) last commanded by Lieutenant (junior grade) John F. Kennedy, future United States President, in the Pacific Theater during World War II. His actions to save his surviving crew after the sinking of PT-109 made him a war hero. His PT-109 collision with a Japanese destroyer contributed to Kennedys long-term back problems and required months of hospitalization at Chelsea Naval Hospital. Kennedys postwar campaigns for elected office referred often to his service on the PT-109.
