It's a bird! It's a plane!

To review the differences between the planes, i'd highly suggest reading up on their abilities at FAS.

Check out ROW Military Aircraft.

That should give you the stats and the history of all those planes. Additionally, it will tell you their drawbacks and advantages, allowing you to interpret them into a Civ strategy. It also has a lot of photos if you're an accuracy freak.
