This request is so general as to be meaningless. You
must first narrow your search to realistic levels. I
suggest you do an on-line search at a minimum. After
you have produced at least an outline of your story
you will have a better idea of what information you
actually need.

military operations and equipment. 

##Ummm, actually no we don't. Or at least I don't.

 So, when I came
up with a fanfic idea, I 
immediately thought "Hey, why don't I research this
time and save myself some 
trouble?"  So, that's what I'm doing.  I'm looking
for information on 
military planes, preferably fighters and bombers,
from the American military, 
the Iraqui military, the Russian military, and
basically every other military 
force in existence. 

##This is NOT realistic. You must limit the search
if you really want some help.

 I COULD go to the library or
look on the internet, but I 
figured that since there are people on this ML that
know something about 
military-related topics, I might as well check it
out.  So, if you would, 
please give me information.  Or not.  Whatever. 
It's just a request.
##It's not a request that's going to be met.
It can't be met. It's too general. You're asking for
literally THOUSANDS of volumes of information. 
Do you need fighter vs. fighter, fighter vs. Bomber,
Ground attack aircraft Military Transport or something
else. East Block vs. West? 
You're going to have to do some work yourself. Write
at least a little of your story that involves the
aircraft and military's you've mentioned. Go to the
library or at least search on-line for information for
your story. When you run into trouble OR when you have
a specific question THEN you might come to the list.
However there are other on-line sources dedicated to
military subjects that might be better suited to your
needs than FFML. Try them first.

Thank you for your time.
