- Used Book in Good Condition
Constructed closer to Manhattan than the commercially unsuccessful Floyd Bennett Field, LaGuardia Airport was conceived in the mid-1930s as New York City mayor Fiorello LaGuardia realized the need for a great airport for one of the worldâ€™s great cities. Originally known as New York Municipal Airport, the popular airport soon had its name changed to recognize LaGuardiaâ€™s enormous contribution to the project. At the time of its opening in 1939, it was the largest and most advanced commercial airport in the world with terminals considered art deco masterpieces. Although a very large airport for the era in which it was built, by the late 1940s it was the worldâ€™s busiest airport and clearly too small for the increasing amount of air traffic. Through the years its runways were lengthened and facilities were improved to handle larger and faster aircraft. Still one of Americaâ€™s busiest airports, LaGuardia has witnessed the steady progress of American commercial aviation, from flying boats to jetliners.
