降落伞空投鸡蛋

一种最奇特的物品运输方法是通过降落伞将鸡蛋空投给在缅甸丛林里的美国士兵,因为其他运输方法难以把物资送达。弗莱德坎能·切斯特下士正在打包鸡蛋,为14英寸降落伞空投作准备。每个篮子可放超过200个鸡蛋,用稻壳代替木屑来缓冲压力。负责筹备这些物资的军需卡车部队没有收到任何关于碎鸡蛋的投诉。

Laying Eggs by Parachute

One of the strangest methods of merchandise delivery yet to be devised is that of parachuting eggs to earth for the use of American soldiers in the jungles of Burma where other methods of delivery are impossible.Corp.Fred E.Kennon,Chester,S.C.,is packing eggs for dropping by a14-foot parachute.More than200eggs are packed in each basket,rice husks instead of sawdust being used to absorb the shock.The Quartermaster truck units responsible for the preparation of these supplies have received no complaints about broken eggs on arrival.
