В разделе "История авиационного вооружения и техники" сейчас более 500 печатных изданий, которые расположены в разделе одним списком в алфавитном порядке по фамилиям авторов, т.е. никак не систематизированы. Очевидно, что настало время систематизировать содержание раздела, создав подразделы. За основу классификации авиатехники естественно взять виды боевое применение самолетов. И для начала предлагаю создать два подраздела для истребительной авиации и штурмовой и бомбардировочной авиации: "Истребители, истребители-перехватчики и истребители-бомбардировщики", "Штурмовики и бомбардировщики". Они должны покрыть основной массив публикаций. Необходимость других подразделов можно будет уточнить после распределения книг по двум первым разделам.
