Gerard E. Zinser, member of Lt. John Kennedy's PT 109 crew during World War II, signs his account of serving under JFK during the boat's sinking. In a famous 1943 incident in which the boat was run down by a Japanese destroyer, Kennedy heroically saved a fellow crew member by holding the man's life jacket between his teeth while swimming to safety. The typed 8.5'' x 11'' account ends, ''...In all my 20 years of Naval service I met many good officers, but none could equal John F. Kennedy. [signed] Gerard E. Zinser''. Fine condition.
