airfield

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jfk the one in new york?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'freudian slip with no puns produced' is the wordplay.
'with no' suggests deleting specific letters.
'produced' indicates an anagram.
'freudian'+'slip'='freudianslip'
'freudianslip' with 'puns' taken away is 'frediali'.
'frediali' anagrammed gives 'AIRFIELD'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
