A REALLY INTERESTING PIECE OF HISTORY

An old movie that you can watch as you wait out the Corona virus. Nipped from wirecutter.

I once deployed a mobile unit to an island and we had two short containers on a 40 foot flatbed trailer we stole from the Army. In order to open them we had to hook chains to the rear mounted container and use a 5 ton truck to pull it a good way off so the 6 foot doors on the rear container could be opened and it emptied of stuff we needed like our tents, cots, rifles and little things like that which one needs when living on an island a couple miles south of Saddam's Iraq. The guys at home put a lot of thought into how to assemble a plane in the field using nothing but trucks and men.
