Gulfport Army Air Field Hangar
Gulfport Army Air Field Hangar, Military hangar at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, United States.
The concrete and steel hangar measures 200 feet in length and 80 feet in width with a vaulted roof and lean-to additions on both sides.
Built in 1944, the hangar served as a training facility for B-29 Superfortress combat crews during World War II before becoming part of civilian aviation.
The structure represents the architectural and engineering methods used in military aviation facilities during the Second World War period in Mississippi.
After restoration from Hurricane Katrina damage in 2016, the Mississippi National Guard maintains operations within the hangar through an official lease agreement.
The hangar features two-inch thick gypsum planks sealed with bitumen for its roof and sliding wood doors covered in sheet metal for aircraft access.
