	Hangar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1909, Louis Bleriot crash-landed on a northern French farm in Les Baraques (between Sangatte and Calais) and rolled his monoplane into the farmer's cattle pen.
		At the time, Bleriot was in a race to be the first man to cross the English Channel in a heavier-than-air aircraft, so he set up headquarters in the unused shed.
		After returning home, Bleriot called REIDsteel, the maker of the cattle pen, and ordered three "hangars" for personal use.
