Hangar One: 1932 to 2014 and Beyond
No Customer Reviews
Moffett Field's Hangar One has been a familiar landmark on the San Francisco Peninsula since 1932 when it was built to house a massive dirigible, the USS Macon. After the loss of the Macon in 1935, the hangar was used for a variety of purposes. But it was closed in 2003 due to the presence of harmful contaminants. In 2011-12 the U.S. Navy removed the hangar's siding and stripped down the hangar to expose its steel skeleton. Then, in 2014, Google signed a 60-year lease on Hangar One and other portions of historic Moffett Field, thus assuring the hangar will be restored and preserved. This short 5200-word book tells the story of Hangar One.
