Introduction
In this fifth installment of our history of Kennedy Airport, we will focus on the last and smallest of the early terminals of Terminal City: the combined terminal for Northeast, Braniff and Northwest, which opened in 1962. We will also look at some of the other magnificent facilities that were built to support the operation of the airport. Then we'll find out how critics and the general public reacted to Terminal City.
