Another excellent reference is "The Mighty Eighth War Manual" by Roger A.

That reminds me, if you can you might want to find a copy of Martin
Middlebrook's "The
Schweinfurt-Regensburg Raid", as it describes the wing shift into bombing
formation by
groups in trail and group bombing accuracy, as well as many other tactical
matters
pertaining to mid-1943 era (and largely for the rest of the war) 8th
Bomber Command
missions.
