military aircraft
Let an agent handle military aircraft historically and descriptively, such as types, history, museums and airshows, without operational, tactical 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.
