Reply to @LongBranchFlyer: Last topographic map that depicted Newport Bay Airport was from 1951. It was no longer depicted in the 1956 topo map. It likely closed between 1951 and 1956 then. At the time, it was known as Balboa Airport shown with two structures and two runways in a reverse L shape. It was not depicted on a 1947 topo map, so it must had a very brief history.
