A good place to get some baseline info (beyond the basic D6 stuff out there) is the free RPG called "Into the Shadows". I can no longer access it here at work, so Google "Into the Shadows RPG" and it will be the first thing that comes up.
It's a horror/modern D6 game, and the basic rules have vehicles, explosives, and special ammunition. I don't believe there's any military aircraft other than helicopters (Blackhawks and Chinooks), but you'll find tanks, Humvees, and other good stuff. Between the core rules and the GM sourcebook (called "The Book of Shadows"), it should at least give some helpful info to get you started...

Wikipedia is probably your best bet, all things considered. You might be able to find more detailed information on more specialized websites, but Wikipedia is going to end up being the site where you are most likely to find information on even relatively obscure aircraft. |
Also check out the Xplane.org forums. There are lots of people on there trying to build accurate flight models of real world aircraft of all kinds. They might know where to find advanced and obscure data on particular aircraft, such as what G loading a C-141 starlifter is rated for and how many cannon rounds a YF-17 carried.
