Bomb Squadron Hangar
Military
6
Building #800 was a wooden squadron hangar built from standard plans for an OBH-2. Four of these hangars were built in 1942 and 1943. Each faced the airport anchorage apron and had ten rolling doors that opened to accommodate a B-24 or B-17. The heavy demands on aircraft from continual training likely required long hours by air support and maintenance crews. Built at an original cost of $175,000, these hangars were about 122 feet wide by 88 feet deep and had a one story shed on the north side. A coal fired coal steam boiler in each hangar provided heat, and each had a restroom and maintenance shop area on the north side.
