I like the look of the 2-part "Y" revetment, but it would also make sense to have a "half-Y" ("zig-zag") revetment object to give airfield designers even more options.

It might also make sense to create "revetment parts" which can be mixed to create a variety of historical revetment types. These objects would all have uniform cross sections and vertical ends so that they could easily be butted together. In that case, the needed revetment objects are:

"V" - shaped, single-engined fighter size & medium bomber/twin-engined fighter sized.
"C" - shaped, single-engined fighter size & medium bomber/twin-engined fighter sized.
"Zig-Zag"/"Half Y" - medium bomber/twin-engined fighter size.
Straight berm - same height as the other objects

Textures for all the objects should be North African desert/sandstone, Italian/limestone or tuff. Possibly also "Italian winter" with limestone/tuff flecked with snow.
