Indexer Notes
The back cover pinup is a comparison of two photos, one of Lt. (jg) John F. Kennedy on the real P.T. 109 during WWII with a photo of Cliff Robertson taken during the movie in the same position. There is also a small photo inset of President Kennedy in the same pinup. Sequence added by Bob Bailey.
