Situated between Roosevelt Field, Mitchel Field and the Grumman airfield in Bethpage, the Long Island Aviation Country Club ran an airfield between 1929 and 1948 for the island's affluent private flyers. This Fairchild 24 was built nearby at Farmingdale in 1937. Photo by: Alfred Eisenstaedt / Life This photo was added on 31 March 2022, and has since been viewed 857 times. |
