This page will be an ongoing list of pictures /drawings I am looking for. The deal is- you find me the drawing/picture,

Sound good? Ok- here are the remaining fugitives and some new ones
Finnish VMV101, 102-104: Former German I-lighters on Lake Ladoga sold to the Finns and armed with a
6pdr and a 20mm. FOUND!!!
British MGB 98 and 99: Former French VTBs 11 and 12. Used for agent drops on Channel coast. Looking
for a picture after 1940. FOUND!!!
US LCM Gunboat Solomon Islands 1943 At least one LCM was modified with a 3"/23 gun, some 37mm and
a bow instead of a ramp. She was used as a barge hunter without a huge amount of success (too slow). FOUND- SEE PICTURE!!!!
One Left!!!!!
French Landing Craft- I'll go to $30 in boats for this one. Three prototype landing craft were built
in Lorient in the late 30's and were still around in 1940. They could carry a few small tanks and are described have been
high in the water so they may have had to have a long ramp. There was talk of using these for landings behind German lines
during the German invasion of France.
Good hunting!!!!
