One big (documented) reason they consolidated them to begin with, if I recall correctly. I would have to find where I read it.

The thing with consolidating them is that it essentially wiped out what was a major source of headaches for defenders: low level attacks made my attack aircraft, i.e. no more Mossi Mk IV, 110G-2, or other such attack specific aircraft.  When the factories were spread out I often took a Mossi in NOE, hammered the target, and was able to retreat out of there before the proverbial La7 showed up for an intercept.  If I tried that at the industrial complex I'd get an introduction to buht secks.

Sir,
the 110, for example, was a close support attack aircraft (and a bomber interceptor of course) instead of being a long range factory-killer. Those were the bombers, historically.
