Astrisks when located by Airfield, like this *Airfield means the airfield is overstacked with squadrons, if it is like this Airfield* then the airfield is overstacked with number of planes versus the amount of AV support.
I do not think there is indication that base is short on Aviation Support (except red color in base screen). Also I am not sure, that "*" can be on the other side of text, but I have not actually took close look at that.
I think *Airfield indicated that Airfield is overstacked by number of groups, OR number of engines.
Also, in combat report:
When air unit have "*" it means it flies at extended range, or using drop tanks (and probably have lower efficiency).
Really? Heres a combat report from Japanese side:
