Barstow-Daggett Airport, Hangar Shed No. 4, 39500 National Trails Highway, Daggett, San Bernardino County, CA
Summary
Significance: Constructed at the outset of World War II, Hangar Shed No. 4 was one of only four such buildings, all of which were located at Barstow-Daggett Airport (then known as Modification Center No. 1, Daggett). Uniquely designed to serve as aircraft-modification facilities, the hangar sheds could accommodate the "noses" (including the engines) of up to 36 aircraft at one time. Several aircraft types, including A-20s, C-47s, and P-51s, were modified in Hangar Shed No. 4 throughout the war, many of which were destined to serve the U.S. allies.
