American Soldiers Make Homes In Glider Crates

The video showcases Shanty town in England, a makeshift city built by a mobile reclamation and repair squadron to house workers who maintain gliders. Initially lacking housing, the squadron used glider crates to create comfortable living spaces. These quarters became so desirable that workers preferred them over newly furnished accommodations, leading to the expansion of the handmade settlement across the glider assembly field.
