Roosevelt Airfield was an airfield in Garden City, Nassau County, New York. Many of the buildings were designed by Kenneth Franzheim. It is named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt's son, Quentin, who was killed in air combat during World War I. It was the takeoff point for many important air flights in the early history of aviation, including Charles Lindbergh's 1927 solo transatlantic flight.
