This #FortRileyFriday we're back at Marshall Army Airfield.
Several permanent miscellaneous and support structures were erected at Fort
Riley in 1941 as the installation began to prepare for the nation's possible entry into World War II. Construction that year included building 751, designed and built as a vehicle storage shed.
According to the Army Corps of Engineers, building 751 and it's #limestone construction is significant for its association with the evolution of military aviation, and to a lesser extent for its representation of a type of construction (early aviation architecture.) No longer in use as a storage facility, it is now one of the buildings used by the Kansas National Guard's Advanced Turbine Engine Army Maintenance team (ATEAM) stationed at #FortRiley. The ATEAM rebuilds tank engines and transmissions for reuse or sale, saving the Army money over new components.
