The Historic England Archive has released a trove of aerial photos from World War 2 for public viewing. The US Army Air Corps collection is called "Baseball and Bombers" and includes images from throughout SW England. The Mighty 8th and the 9th were the primary squadrons involved in defense of the region.
Remember -- in museum and archive websites, look for the SEARCH box. Many places have their collections digitized or have classroom materials on related content.
