Which Aerodrome Mk III
Rhodos (ex-international) Maritsa it is.
In the 60s approached through a saddle in the hills via NDB. Still recall my feeling of unease approaching in the dark with red lights visible in the hills above us.

Sabredog, I think yours is Benbrook Field, Benbrook, TX, nowadays a housing development, like so many are……
The Royal Canadian Flying Corps (Sic!) established this airfield in 1917, as one of three fields in the Fort Worth area where it trained pilots for WW1 (the other 2 fields were Hicks Field & Barron Field).
This airfield was initially known as Taliaferro #2, and was also known as Carruthers Field.
