  1. There's a simple explanation that occurs to me: Officer in charge of organizing the rescue says to enlisted man "Go get some female clothing from the store, include underwear, and put it on the plane." Enlisted man goes to store and says to store clerk, "Gimme nurse uniform, bras, etc..., book it to the rescue" Store clerk goes and looks for bras - he sees boxes labelled:- Brassiere, adjustable size A, US Army Pattern Cotton Plain serial 936-17019A, 12 QTY Brassiere, adjustable size B, US Army Pattern Cotton Plain serial 937-17019B, 12 QTY Brassiere, adjustable size C, US Army Pattern Cotton Plain serial 937-17019C, 12 QTY. He's not authorized to open any boxes. So he grabs one box of each type & gives to the enlisted man. I once worked in a big government depot, and this sort of thing happened all the time. One time, someone needed some Araldite to glue some simple little thing. All he wanted was the usual couple of 10ml tubes. What the storeman came up with was two 5 litre tins.
