[William S Merritt]

Great photos!
Some notes:

-On page 15 in the control tower, the radio receivers at left are a 
Hammarlund 120 topping three National NC-100 variants.

-Fiorello LaGuardia (LaGuardia Airport) was a Congressman (later NYC 
Mayor) who took a leave of absence to fly fighters in Italy during WWI.

-Floyd Bennett (Bennett Field) was a Naval Aviation Pilot (NAP) 
sometimes referred to as 'Flying Chiefs" who flew LCDR, later CDR and 
RADM Richard Byrd on his polar expeditions!
