I don't think that Fiorello LaGuardia was a great aviator.

If you are talking about name Lindberg, you have Lindberg Field in
San Diego and the Lindberg terminal at MSP.

As for the "Nazi sympathizer" label....I think you will find that he
had great respect and admiration for German aviation capabilities,
and was a staunch isolationist.  But "sympathizer" seems out of place
and smacks of hyperbole.
