Doing some more digging (thanks Wikipedia), it's definitely not hangar 1...
Hangar 1 had clamshell doors and two tracks on the floor, not the one centered like you see.

So probably hangar 2 or 3...which were only finished in '42, so still fairly new as of '44.

Moffett Field airship hangars

There are three historic airship hangars at Moffett Field, in Mountain View in the southern San Francisco Bay Area, California. Hangar One (built 1931/2) is based on a structure of steel girders, while Hangars Two and Three (built 1941/2) are of wood. They are among the world's largest freestanding structures.
