Hangar No. 1

In Hangar No. 1, flying became real for the aviation cadet. The hangar housed the main activities of the airfield, including flight debriefings, flight record-keeping, aircraft maintenance, and military and civilian management. As the program grew, several smaller rooms surrounding the original space were added. A door on the left originally led to the Machine Shop, where metal parts for aircraft were repaired. Cadets did not learn night flight at Moton Field, but some of the PT-17s were stored in the hangar at night.
