Here is a read only link to the Aerodrome Database - WhichAerodrome.xlsx. Up to date as of 1/5/2019. Catching up slowly - up to May 2019 now (Mar 2020).
Here are some "rules" for Which Aerodrome. These are based upon the original suggestions from the very first thread, and have a few additions. Also please be patient as when you are active others may be asleep.
 Thanks to Self Loading Bear for suggesting that we use a wiki. Which Aerodrome I Which Aerodrome II nvubu.

It is in USA, not a construction factory, not 1950s
Edit to add; this is an auxiliary field. The other images I have are of the main field

That makes a difference, but it does look rather large for an auxiliary field.
Usually it is military establishments which have auxiliary fields but to me that doesn't look military.

Further investigation, it's one of three satellite fields built at the same time as the main field
The main base is still active.
There seem to be a fair number of auxiliary fields as well (from little know airfields) - but I have no pictures of these.
Was built before the US entered the war.
- this one doesn't exist any more
- another still in use
- the third is recognisable - but no longer active.

Corpus Christi.
edit: that had six satellite airfields according to one source -
Rodd, Cabaniss, Cuddihy, Kingsville, Waldron and Chase.
I think this one might be Cuddihy.

Well done dook. Corpus Christie is the main field. You have control.
The image I posted first is/was Rodd Field. Check out Google Earth, and use the history to go back to 1956.
Map showing the three satellites in relation to the NAS - produced by the company that installed the power cables.
Three initial satellites (Rodd, Cabaniss, Cuddihy) in 1940/1. My document is from this period.
Waldron & Chase were added a couple of years later in 1943.
Kingsville was in 1942, but not sure it was built as a satellite to CC - history
