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.

Which Aerodrome Mk III
shadow shows relatively low latitude ie lower 48 and possibly southern states. Flat old lake bed? with substantial mountains to EAST - so probably not the plains side of the Rockies
Big snow so not S Arizona or California - maybe Utah/Wyoming??
Salt Lake City?

I think it might be Hill AFB, Ogden Utah
"Following American entry into World War II in December 1941, Hill Field quickly became an important maintenance and supply base, with round-the-clock operations geared to supporting the war effort. Battle-worn warplanes like the A-26, B-17, B-24, B-29, P-40, P-47, P-61, were sent to Hill Field for structural repairs, engine overhauls, and spare parts. The peak wartime employment at Hill Field was reached in 1943 with a total of just over 22,000 military and civilian personnel. "

Asturias56 has it with Hill AFB. I thought that the mountains would be a give away.
dook was wondering why the aircraft was sat on it's tail, he missed the ones in the following image that were sat on their noses.
This was D-Day

The mountains helped but it was actually the shadow and realizing the base had to be VERY close to the mountains... and such a range of aircraft..................... so not a factory and probaly not a n active fighting location - some sort of facility for repair, upgrade etc etc............... 
Try this bucolic location..................

On an island .................................... small but has occasional international flights
