Lengthy history covering 3 pages
Glossary of German and British terms
Weapons - descriptions of dropped Luftwaffe ordnance
Listing of targets in the Bristol area
Chronological listing of German bomb runs over the Bristol area, June 1940-May 1944
Chronological listing of German reconnaissance runs over the Bristol area, Aug. 1939-May 1944
German aircraft used in operations over Great Britain, aircraft identification markings; glossaries of principal Luftwaffe ranks, civilians engaged in military operations, and Luftwaffe aircrew categories
Chronological listing of German losses over the Bristol area, July 1940-Oct. 1941
Listing of sources used by John, which include many primary archive sources
Blitz Memorial
"A register of those who lost their lives due to enemy action in Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare and surrounding districts, 1940-1944"
Again, John Penny's masterful research is at hand. Losses are listed chronologically. Included are gravesite and memorial photographs.
