This is a very, very easy fix that you might even be able to do yourself. All that is required is editing the appropriate ".ini" file.
While the year of introduction is useful info for mission builders and people using dogfight servers, it could be moved to the "view objects" screen.
Other than that, just assume that an aircraft might have remained in service long after it was introduced despite being progressively obsolete, like Brewster B-239 and Hurricane Mk. I in Finnish service.
But, if we're talking about upgrading the the "view object information" feature of the game there's lots that could be done.
* Reduce or remove the historical section. It's irrelevant for a particular plane model.
* Add a screenshot of the cockpit for aircraft, along with a numbered list of positions for relevant gauges.
* Add useful information that you'd want to know when fighting or flying a particular airplane - like best cornering speed, maximum manifold pressure, take-off manifold pressure, take-off and landing distances, amount of ammunition, location of vulnerable points, armor location, etc.
* Add useful information for mission builders, like month and year of introduction, month and year of withdrawal from active service, units which used the type, and total units produced.
