Just saw this: Nice presentation of buildings, some planes. Bob, were you ever at Floyd Bennett "in the day"? New York's first airport is being brought back from its ruins ? and we checked it out - AOL
Good stuff! I hope everything gets restored eventually. Here's a good photo history of the field: https://www.amazon.com/Floyd-Bennett-Field-Images-Aviation/dp/1467133671/
Nice... one can flip through the book... pictures. Pic of the Nazi F-W 200 Condor (with swastika) at Floyd Bennnett. Set records. I think they were checking the ability to bomb NYC... that was the reason for the development of the Condor, I read.
I think the high point for Floyd Bennett was when Howard Hughes landed there at the end of his round-the-world flight in his Lockheed 14 Super Electra. From what I've seen in photos, the crowd was immense.
