Flap40 is correct The Hughes Airport was at one time the largest private airport in the U.S. The runway wasn't paved until after WW.II.
The giant Hughes H-4 "Hercules" flying boat was built there, and trucked to the harbour at Long Beach. The airport was closed in 1985. Hughes also built this giant there.
You have control.
