This was an airport hangar before windstorm. A bomb dropped by an invading airplane could have done little more damage, except to dig a hole, than was caused to a hangar and workshop being constructed at the Ann Arbor airport by what apparently was a tip of a cyclone during Saturday night's windstorm. The wreckage, shown scattered over the landscape, formerly stood atop the building blocks in the foreground. An airplane also was damaged, bringing the total loss to nearly $3,500.
