LaGuardia was born in The Bronx to an Italian lapsed-Catholic father (Achille La Guardia) and an Italian mother of Jewish origin from Trieste (Irene Cohen Luzzato), and he was raised an Episcopalian (most Italian Americans that are not Roman Catholic tend to be Episcopalian because of its similarity to the Roman Catholic Church).
LaGuardia had remained Mayor of New York during this appointment, but after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1942 he was succeeded at the OCD by a full-time director, James M. Landis.
LaGuardia Airport, the smaller and older of New York's two international airports bears his name; the airport was voted the "greatest airport in the world" by the worldwide aviation community in 1960.
LaGuardia Airport (IATA: LGA, ICAO: KLGA) is an airport serving New York City, United States, located on the waterfront of Flushing in the borough of Queens.
LaGuardia is the smallest of the New York area's three primary commercial airports, the other two of which are John F. Kennedy International Airport in southern Queens and Newark Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey.
Although LaGuardia was a very large airport for the era in which it was built, it soon became too small for the amount of air traffic it had to handle.
