Both airfields had 4 paved runways extending towards the west, northwest, north, and northeast, from a circular landing mat.

In March 1943, the Navy replaced the twin airfields with a much larger airport, consisting off 4 paved runways, 2 large hangars, and over 100 aircraft.

On March 5, 1943, the airfield was named after John C. Waldron, who was killed in action while leading Torpedo Squadron 8 through the Battle of Midway.

However, in July 1969, the airfield was reactivated as Outlying Landing Field Waldron assigned to, NAS Corpus Christi.

Residential areas located in the Subzone were fitted with sound insulation, shielding for light fixtures, and the regulation of potential obstructions including natural terrain and man-made structures.
