Why is fighter wing not a subclass of wing?

Please explain why you removed this claim? A fighter wing is a subclass of a wing, specifically a wing that primarily is tasked with operating fighter aircraft.

Yes, you're correct. The item "wings" is defined for military unit size class to aviation unit size. and, wouldn't it be the same definition by adding a size designation of "wings" as a qualifier for "fighter unit"? If my define is wrong, I'll make follow your define.

You are not wrong. It certainly is a subclass of 'fighter unit' (q. size 'wing'), but I think it is equally a subclass of 'wing' (q. operates 'fighter'), so that is why generally I would add both subclass claims. I don't think there is currently a separate 'air wing' class for aviation wings in general, or at least it and 'wing' are merged, so that is why I would keep it under 'wing' for now. Classification can be fuzzy, so thoughts on it are welcome.
