Notes
  • Significance: The Ellsworth Air Force Base Readiness Hangar is significant for its association with American military policy during the Cold War years of the early 1950s. During this era, the United States Air Force made substantial improvements at the nation's domestic air bases, including major projects designed for domestic defense and air base protection. Readiness hangars such as this one played a key role in this changing mission by housing and maintaining aircraft prepared to take off at a moment's notice to protect the base from outside attack. The hangar is also significant for its design. The design was widely used for new hangar construction during World War II, particularly after wartime restrictions on steel were imposed in 1942. The hangar's configuration typifies the basic form preferred for a readiness hanger by military planners of the early 1950s.
