Hello Everyone,
I would appreciate advise regarding the bombing of Liverpool UK in May 1941.
I am specifically interested in the following:
1] The types of aircraft used.
2] The numbers of aircraft used.
3] The bases from which the missions were launched.
4] The Route taken to the target and the route home.
Many Thanks,
R.O'Connor

The site contains an article of Luftwaffe interest are:

The Luftwaffe over the Bristol area, 1940-44 - A detailed history, including an extensive and detailed loss list. Apparently, no photos.
