Description: Veterans lined up at the War Assets Administration area at Port Hueneme to purchase Quonset Huts and other surplus army and navy supplies such as tentage, steel bunks, electrical saws, bridge-building equipment, pumps and an air-raid warning siren. More than 1000 veterans with priority certificates showed up for the sale, some camped out to ensure they would get their choice of hut. The huts cost between $230 and $288 depending on the number of windows.
