Notes
  • Significance: Building 1015 (the Landplane Hangar), perhaps more than any other historic resource at the naval air station, represents the base's primary mission of training Navy pilots. It exhibits a distinctive building type used by the Navy at the onset of World War II, when hangar construction expanded at naval air stations throughout the country. This emphasized the growing importance of aviation within the Navy. This hangar displays a large barrel-vault roof supported by a system of interlocking wooden beams.
