Answer 2

The "Grand Central Airport" was an important facility to the city and to the history of aviation. It provided the first paved runway west of the Rocky Mountains in 1923. In 1928 it opened its terminal, making it the first official airport in Greater Los Angeles. For the next two decades it was the main airport in the county and references to "Los Angeles Airport" from that era generally refer to the Grand Central Airport, not to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which was known as Mines Field at the time (commercial airline operations at LAX did not begin until 1946).
