Remembering the LI Aviation Country Club

Aviation pioneers Ruth Nichols and Betty Gillies talk about Long Island's Aviation Country Club in vintage film footage from 1929 with an introduction and historical context provided by Cradle of Aviation Museum curator Joshua Stoff. The country club was a playground for Long Island's elite until 1950, when its land was sold to the developers of Levittown.
