In fact I think those are the only ones you could and should put back in the air(there's a flying il2 btw) - for the sole reason if you display them in this condition it's a sorry show. They never looked like the POS wreck in the corner of the museum.
You can strip, replace the missing parts with modern materials, and there you go - you'll have a nice and safe to fly(!) Warbird.
The A5 recovered from the woods it a typical example of this category.
edit:
What bewulf is talking about must be the emotional part.
Obviously he gets goose skin when looking up into the sky and remembers the fact that this very aircraft was roaring over the battle fields in Russia some 70 years ago.
This not something you can really argue about.
