Right now, in-game and on the download page the only information available on skins is the squadron information.
However many of the skins represent aircraft with a unique or particularly noteworthy history, either because of the aircraft's service, or even just its pilot.
Why not have a description of the skin itself, where the skinner can provide more detailed notes on the skinned aircraft's history. For example, that a given A6M was the favored ride of Sakai, or if I EVER get around to finishing F4U-1A Ol' 122 about how she was the only American combat aircraft to receive a commendation in her own right.
It'd be a nice little touch for people interested in more history of the skin they fly.
