Some a/c will evade when a missile if fired at them, and others won't. Obviously this is due to missile warning systems etc, is there somewhere in the units OOB page that tells you which a/c have this ability and which don't?

It is the EW rating of the plane, against the EW rating of the missile ("ECM reduces hit chance to X% message or similar). High EW rating means the firing SAM is more likely to be located as well. SEAD planes are better for the same ratings. Also, crew quality of the pilot is taken into the EW pull-down of the SAM to-hit %.
Once EW is diced for, there is a skill roll, based on whether the SAM is spotted, and the pilot skill rating, as to whether or not he evades the SAM, and that if successful (and which has nothing to do with EW, just that EW can reveal the firer and so make spotting the SAM easier) - will further pull down the to-hit % chance.
Therefore - as a human defender - if you can move your SAMS between air strikes, so much the better (SP SAM is good!) as if they stand still while located then the following planes will find it easier to dodge the SAMS (plus arty etc will home in on them as well).
