The dirty little secret to all this is that all wars are economic in nature. It has been pointed out quite clearly that this attack was likely an attempt to cripple the US and other nations by destroying finanacial or trade centers. The WTC was attacked on 9/11 because it was an economic and political target according to Bin Laden and his deputies. They sought to cripple Western economies and force US withdrawal from Islamic lands. You have to note that Bin Laden is a believer in the historical version of Islam from about the 9th century. At that time much of present day Europe was Islamic lands.

As I stated earlier wars always have an economic component. Hitler wanted to conquer Europe and establish a German 1,000 year Reich to wield both military and economic power. You can't successfully have one without the other. Guns, bombs, and missles cost money. The Roman empire was as much an economic enterprise as a military one.

It has also been pointed out that both China and Russia would be unlikely to see any real economic benefit from attacking the US in this manner. It would not be in their best interests today. At the time of this attack, maybe things have changed.

My vote is that the conflict was initiated by those that thought they would benefit from it. That means North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, and world terror organizations like Hamas. Pakistan and India are also potential sources of materials or conspirators. The plotters have to see this as gaining them something while risking them little, otherwise why do it? I'd say Venezuela, Iran, with technical help from terror groups and Pakistani nuclear scientists. The goal cripple the US and set the stage for Venezuelan communist domination of South and Central America and to allow Iran to grow unimpeded into an Islamic superpower controlling much of the world's oil and gas reserves. The next step for Iran would be the destruction of Israel while the EU writes a strong letter of protest.

The only reason the World War II planes were used to drop the food and other supplies is only, and I repeat only because they were and are not suseptible to the EMP that was used in an earlier episode. The only things that work after such a device being used is those without onboard computers. Thus, that is why the character Jake Green is driving around in an old Dodge and why the only other vehicles you see being used are those that do not have onboard computers or those that could not have been affected by that EMP.
To let yourself believe that the use of World War II planes is something to key in on without considering the fact they were not affected by the EMP would be a mistake.
Now the thing to clue in on as far as the types of planes used would be, who or what country would continue to maintain and operate such types of aircraft and for what reason? As far as American parachutes and anything else that was used, anything like that can be found or is available on the black market or through military supply depots, if you have the connections and/or the cash.
Just posting something else to keep in mind as the writers of this like the writers of "24" and "Lost" do there best to keep up the suspense to keep us glued to the "BOOB TUBE".... to assure we'll be back for the next episode/s and or season/s.
