12A54 Posted October 2, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 2, 2017 Wasn't sure where to post this, but visited the JFK Library yesterday (see posts of his medals and dog tag in other threads) and thought members might like to see this photo of the flag taken off of PT-109 shortly before the boat was lost while flying this flag's replacement.

Mr.Jerry Posted October 2, 2017 Share #2 Posted October 2, 2017 Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Can you read the wording on it? The No. 12 is the smallest size they flew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to make out the words - LETTIAXX FLAG X X ENSIGN No. 12 - just guessing at most of those. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
