Summary

Pathe synopsis: The Pic’s Magic Carpet takes you to the John F Kennedy Airport, New York’s new gateway built on a Long Island swamp. This is a plush showplace, eclipsing the Disneylands built only for amusement, with its functional beauty, its fountains and lights, its drive-in banks, its animal hospital, its futuristic buildings where passengers land at the rate of one a second round the clock.
