Remark Photographer
Photo taken by my late father, W.C. Wall, Sr. LaGuardia Airport terminal as it was around 1940. Open viewing area above the gates, outdoor dining, and a marina in front of the south hangars--travel to the airport in your speedboat.

This excellent photo shows a busy and modern looking airport terminal building bustling with people on the terrace. The photo, which also features the control tower and automobiles of the period, clearly illustrates that commercial air travel had truly come of age by 1940. What this photo depicts isn't the First-World-War era lonely hangar amid a grassy field, but rather an impressive, large, and stylish airport structure.

Home Alone 2: Lost In New York LaGuardia by member September11
LGA: The current site of the airport was originally used by the Gala Amusement Park. It was razed and transformed in 1929 into a 105-acre private flying field. The airport was originally named Glenn H Curtiss Airport and later called North Beach Airport.
