I found Polish pre-war airfields map. It might be helpfull.
Filled points are hidden, field airfields and all Polish airfields war made with grass. Sometimes there was a few of hangars.

Thank you very much, each info is welcome. Up to date, I used these data:

Niemecke lotniska:

and the soviet source: Aerodromy v Bielorusi.

It's a good site. Do you use Auto-pop tool? I was making Silesia map but I had problem with using this tool. Why haven't you taken some different textures on your maps? Below I set screen of my re-made Lviv map. I added Polish texts, better textures, trenches and airfields.

Do you use Auto-pop tool?

Not yet. Instead, I use Alt-select-copy technique for copying the whole streets and placing them elsewhere, in default city textures. The exception is Brest fortress, where I build it manually using default object .

  Why haven't you taken some different textures on your maps?

I consider that is necessary to build so to say bones and flesh of the map, that is roads, rivers, airfields, city and countryside locations, and only then to make skin, that is textures of the fields, woods and so on. This skin might be, moreover, made by better knowing persons, that I am, I mean, better knowing the local conditions on the map area during WWII.
As I see, that is the common practice that there are more talented modders reworking the map appearance. Here I am inviting them for further co-laboration.

Report on progress:
Made 60 airfielsd, 522 bridges and the roads joining them, removed woods in rivers artefacts, perfectly removed glicks occuring at coast aligning. Going to populate.

Brest Fort

[CzechTexan]

aha!  Brestskaya Krepost!  Did anyone see that movie?
Pretty cool to see Brest Fortress on this map.  Looks really nice and as realistic as you can get with IL2.
I'd like to see German planes bombing and I-16s defending those trapped inside the walls.

Minsk city looks nice as well.  Nice curves of the river. 
keep it up Uzin!

Minsk interesting. 
Brest Fortress is very similar contours!
 Nice!
If possible, please accurately mount the objects to avoid omissions between them
