In 1932, J. P. Muller, chair of the Aviation Committee of the Long Island Chamber of Commerce, warned that Floyd Bennett Field risked becoming obsolete without strong support from local business communities. He advocated for immediate action from Chambers of Commerce and civic groups to capitalize on the airport's potential, noting its significant investment of approximately $4 million by New York City. Muller praised the airport's facilities, claiming they could rival prominent airports like Le Bourget and Croydon, but urged for better utilization of its vast resources and advantages for air traffic.
Mr. Muller emphasized the need for immediate collaboration among business leaders to avoid Floyd Bennett Field becoming obsolete, highlighting its extensive investment and potential.
Despite significant financial investment and great facilities, Floyd Bennett Field has not been utilized to its full extent due to various obstacles.
