INFORMATION:
Built
by Callender-Hamilton drawing No. 6637/37.
I
was told by a gentleman living here that ALL the hangars
were built with Lend Lease
money?
In 1941,
Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act. That gave President
Franklin D. Roosevelt the powers to sell, transfer,
exchange, lend equipment to defend itself
against the Axis powers. A
sum of $50 billion was appropriated by Congress.
The money went to
38 different countries with Britain receiving over $31 billion.
