There was no 'Wright-Patterson AFB' in 1947. There was Wright Field and there was Patterson Field - two separate airfields. They weren't combined, nor were they referred to as a single facility, until 1948.
Research facilities were concentrated at Wright Field. If you do your homework you'll find that the Roswell materials were allegedly flown to Wright Field.
There never was a Hangar 18 at Wright Field. There was a Building 18, which was a complex of office, laboratory, and test facilities dedicated to powerplants / engines. Building 18 was not a hangar, nor did it sit on the flight line.
