There's a free film about the hangar construction. It was planned
before WWII, and then after Pearl Harbor the builders were told to
rush, but not use steel as that was needed for other things. So they
used wood. Some of the timbers made from old growth Douglas Fir are
12x16".

And the glue is made from Spotted Owls and Snail Darters... :-)
