^^ASHINGTON National Airport, swinging into full-time operation as tlie clock
struck midnight last Sunday, gives the National Capital, on what was Gravelly
Point's watery waste two years ago, the most modern and best equipped air terminal
in the world. Above is the model administration building as the $15,000,000 airport
takes over the handling of a traffic flow that makes Washington the third busiest air
center in the world, exceeded only by New York and Chicago. With control fa
cilities unequaled anywhere, the new airport is certain to see an immediate increase
even in this great traffic stream as Washington leads the Nation in its all-out de
fense effort. (Other pictures of the airport and its facilities on Page 3.)
