My Uncle (Huges Brown Landrum) was on the PT 28 He was in Pearl Harbor Dec 7th 1941. He was involved in the installation of radar on 4 PT boats and was in the Aleutians Islands where his PT Boat was damaged beyond repair. If you have anything else to know about my uncle I would sure love to hear from you. Thank you....Butch Landrum,...the nephew.
