Although I rewrote the list, I cannot at the moment see the point about it. We need some inclusion criterions for this. As the phrase 'large aircraft' is very subjective, I'd personally prefer to scrap the exisisting list, and replace it with something alon the line of 'aircraft firsts', containing a list of various records, or if there isn't concensus for this, to at least use something along the line of 'largest aircraft' for a specific period. The term 'large aircraft' is subject to change, similar to the term heavy bomber, which at some point was used to describe the B-17, the B-29, the B-50 and the B-52. For each new model, the previous was more or less degraded to medium bomber. At the moment, everone is more or less free to add any aircraft they think is large, even though it has no specific merit of being either the largest upon it's introduction, or largest when designed.
