Caption: Site of the first Military Intelligence Service Language School
Additional Description: The abandoned hangar used by the MISLS was part of Crissy Field, an airstrip established in 1915 for the U.S. Army Air Service, as part of the Presidio army base.

Inasmuch as the Nisei soldiers were subject to Executive Order 9066, the tenure of the first MISLS class at the Crissy Field hangar was short, and the school and its students were relocated to Camp Savage in Minnesota.
