The historical significance of Floyd Bennett Field lies in its being the city's first municipal airport; in its role in the development of American aviation; in its part in World War II; and in the fact that it is one of the few American airports designed in the 1920's which are still standing in basically the same form as when originally built. This historic structures report gives existing condition statements and recommendations for the historic buildings within the Floyd Bennett Field complex.
