The Regia Marina's MAS Boats, 1915-1945
 The book describes every MAS boat built and operated by the Italian Navy during the First World War, the inter-war years and the Second World War. There are seventy-four images including eight in color.
T. Garth Connelly is a naval historian who has written books on PT boats, Motor Torpedo Boats, Schnellboote and one-hundred-ten foot wooden hull Sub Chasers. This work, his sixth, is a logical progression of his series of books on minor combatants of World War II.
In researching this book, the author drew on the assistance of the former Naval Attache of the Italian embassy in Washington, DC, and the Italian naval archives.
The book is available from Amazon and Nimble Books. Also available for the Kindle and for the NOOKbook

PT Consulting was founded to allow me to aid fellow authors, historians and scale modelers as we preserve our heritage and our history.
Through this web site I will endeavor to provide up-to-date research on things like camouflage schemes and armament packages and the like. See special note from Garth
Also, I will provide information on where to purchase matched paints and after-market accessories for your models to give you the best and most authentic look possible.
Please look around...and feel free to send me your thoughts and comments on how I can continue to improve this web site.
