				Ft. Benning -  
				One of the most critical factors towards ensuring a full 
				deployment of a canopy was dryness - a canopy stored in high

				humidity was high, the packing sheds at Gordonvale were the 
				first air-conditioned buildings in the region, for exactly that 
				purpose.)    |
