Check out the link MH posted in the "related sites" section.

From there you can determine the airfoil used by many aircraft, then go to the airfoild data base site and pull up an image like this one for the Fokker D. VII:

You can also get the airfoil coords of course... Cool stuff!

There's also a free plugin you can get for 3d studio to do the whole wing automatically from a given naca number, wingspan, chord etc etc.
