The Beatles, Jimmy Durante and more … at JFK
Posted on August 26th, 2008 by Harriet Baskas
The New York Times has a great slideshow celebrating the earliest days of John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
Built on “six square miles of swampy sand, part of it the site of a once-fashionable golf course…” in its first few years the airport welcomed everyone from Gregory Peck and Pope Paul VI to, of course, the Beatles!’
