History: Benedetto Giovanni Laguardia grew up in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn, what is commonly referred to today as "Little Italy", spending much of his youth on the ball fields playing baseball with the neighborhood boys. He received his secondary education at the New Utrecht Technical School where the students mockingly stated, "you have to be NUTS to go to New Utrecht Technical School." The school is located on 80th Street in Brooklyn.

Benny's cousin Fiorello Henry La Guardia was quite active in student government at New Utrecht School. The older cousin was elected to the US House of Representatives in 1917, but his term of office was interrupted during the Great War. While Fiorella went off to Caproni CA.5 bombers with the Army Air Service in Italy, Benedetto was drafted into the 308th Infantry Regiment of the 77th Infantry Division, a unit made up primarily of draftees from New York City.

The 308th acquired some notoriety while serving in the Argonne Forest in early October, 1918. Under the command of Major Charles Whittlesey, a Harvard Law Graduate, who practiced law in NYC. Benny's company along with five other companies of the 308th found them stranded behind enemy lines and fought a last stand battle for six days in the French forest. Their courage and determination earned them the moniker of "The Lost Battalion".

In 1920, Benny's cousin Fiorello was appointed as President of the New York City Board of Alderman. With an influential cousin and his status as a veteran and member of the famed, Lost Battalion, Benny found himself employment with the New York Police Department. He enjoyed his work on the Police Department and saw no problem in accepting free gifts from an appreciative constituent.

Benny earned a reputation as a scrapper, someone who dropped the gloves, using his fists to dole out punishments for misdemeanors instead of dragging the culprit before the courts. For felonies, he felt obligated to make an arrest. As time wore on, the act of taking "gifts" became lucrative for Officer La Guardia and he soon found himself making out pretty well economically by avoiding certain areas if the price was right.

In the world of syndicated crime, Benny was considered to be on certain gang's payroll, receiving a regular stipend for turning a blind eye or keeping other police officers away. There were more than a handful of NYPD officers in the 1920s who found additional income in this manner.

Benny's cousin, Fiorello was re-elected to the House of Representatives in 1923 and would later go on to be elected Mayor of New York City in the 1934. North Beach Airport in East Emhurst near the confluence of the East River and Flushing Bay was named after Mayor LaGuardia, Benny's famous relative in 1953.

History:
McFinnegan was born in New York, to two Irish immigrants. He had a sister and two brothers. His father founded a successful ship-construction company out of New York, and he and his siblings worked together in the company. When his father was killed during a mugging, Jimmy became the new head of the company. During prohibition, however, the McFinnegan family found their business dwindling, as highways began replacing ships as the main mode of goods-transport.
Facing poverty, Jimmy convinced his siblings to move to Canada, where prohibition wasn't in effect. Jimmy himself stayed in New York, and used his siblings to establish a liquor smuggling business along the Atlantic coast. It started out small, with his siblings buying whiskey and beer, and sending it to him to resell at a premium. Within a couple years, they had saved up enough to start their own brewery in Newfoundland, and began mass-distributing "Hard-Stuff McFinnegan's Canadian Whiskey" and "McFinnegan Fine Ale" all across the West Coast.
Of course, as his business grew, so did his reputation. Soon enough, McFinnegan found himself paying off several police stations, and buying protection from various regional gangs. He soon found it more cost-effective to turn himself into a middle-man, selling only to established gangs, who would then deal with police and other competition for him.
In no time at all, Jimmy "Hard-Stuff" McFinnegan found himself tied up with (TBD Irish Gang) and (TBD non-Irish Gang)
