Smoother than Newark, superior in equipment and less hazardous to approach, its commercial activities are confined to a single regular passenger service-one American Airliner a day to Boston-taxi services and private flying. Third field is Port Washington, a temporary base for German and British flying boats and Bermuda Clippers. The 20-mile journey from Grand Central takes just under an hour.
