It says "(...) by today's standards, a medium-small aircraft." This implies it's being compared between other aircraft in general and not bombers specifically.

i.e. Length and wingspan of the Lancaster vs similar specifications for the 731. The 737-100 is a larger aircraft, and those are pretty small by "today's standards".
