Looking for aircraft info...

In case you're wondering, I'm still obsessed with FFs (Fuel Fractions).
I'm trying to create as thorough a list of FFs for older fighter/attacker aircraft as possible, but I've run into a snag --- there are a lot of aircraft that I cannot find the fuel capacities for!
I'd appreciate if if anyone could tell me how much fuel any of the following aircraft carry.
Easy(?) ones:
P-59 Airacomet
F-9 Panther
F-10 Skyknight
A-5A Vigilante
Sea Hawk
Delta II
Swift
Sea Vixen
Javelin
Ouragan
Mystere
Mystere IV
CF-100 Canuk
He-280
Not-so-easy ones:
YA-9
Attacker
Mirage I
J-8I Finback-A
Yak-25 Flashlight
Good Luck with these...:
J-9
Arie
CAVA
Novi Avion
XF-108 Rapier
YF-109 Trident

Unforcently I don't live up in Ohio any more or else I'd check at Wright State University's Research library, they've got EVERY Jane's from 1910 or so up to the last time I was there 2004 and probably to the most recent.
Well good luck on your search.
Just kidding --- thanks for looking it up.
If someone doesn't provide some fuel capacities soon, I'll just have to write the unknown furl fractions as "?". It sure beats leaving historic aircraft off my list entirely...
Javelin? Now theres a hard one...
There are a lot of historic British jetfighters on my Fuel Fractions list that still don't have a number yet.
