Michael, About 15 years ago, during a brief project on the Marine Air Terminal, I met Geoffrey Arend, ensconced there at LaGuardia Airport, where he then published aviation trade newspapers, including "Air Cargo News." He also published a few books under the general title "Air World's Great Airports" -- I have a copy of "LaGuardia 1939-1979." He also wrote books on Newark and JFK Airports. Sounds to me like he's a good source for your brother. Now, I haven't kept track of him, so my data could be way too old, but there is an address in the book to send orders: Air World's Great Airports, Box 32243, Jamaica, NY 11431.
