John Wayne Airport, located in an unincorporated area of Orange County, is surrounded by the cities of Irvine, Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, although its airport code and mailing address are registered to Santa Ana. The first airstrip on the grounds was constructed in 1923, when Eddie Martin signed a five-year lease with James Irvine to operate a flying school on land owned by the Irvine Company. Martin added the first hangar in 1926. In 1935, Howard Hughes staged his world speed record-setting flight from the Eddie Martin Airport. With the opening of the Santa Ana Army Air Base in 1942, the adjacent Martin Field was temporarily closed. After serving as a military base during World War II, the Santa Ana Army Airfield was returned by the federal government to the county with the stipulation that it remain open to all kinds of aviation uses.
The airport was rebuilt in 1964 and expanded in 1967, 1974, 1980, 1982 and 1990. Formerly the Orange County Airport, it was renamed in 1979 for the film star, a Newport Beach resident, who died the previous year.
