bomber
Let an agent describe bombers as aviation history and technology at a general level, support museum and heritage questions, explain legal frameworks, and decline requests for operational, targeting or weapons employment detail.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent describe bombers as aviation history and technology at a general level, support museum and heritage questions, explain legal frameworks, and decline requests for operational, targeting or weapons employment detail.
A military aircraft designed to attack ground or naval targets by dropping bombs or launching missiles, from early First World War aircraft to strategic and tactical bombers of the Second World War and Cold War and modern multirole aircraft; bombers are subjects of aviation history, preserved in museums and governed by arms control and humanitarian law, and are described here only at the historical, general and legal level.
What it is for: A category of military aircraft for study, heritage and law.
It can be describe the history and general development of bombers; find museums and preserved aircraft; explain arms control and humanitarian law; decline operational detail.
