The definitive books (at least for me) that deal with this sort of stuff are written by a delightfully erudite english farmer called Martin Middlebrook.
If you have any questions as to routes, tactics, box formations, alternatives, sweeps, dispersion, fightercover, alt, crew, creep and even payloads (for alternatives) on the allied side, and pretty much the same on the German side then Middlebrooks books such as :
The Schweinfurt and Reisenburg raid, The Berlin Raids, The Nuremberg raid, and the Hamburg raid (or campaign)
His attention to detail, whist not making it seem like a latin class is wonderful.
I have all of his books and won't lend them for a cent!, you should however be able to pick them up off amazon , and pengiun are currently reprinting some, which reminds me I must pick up a copy of the "Convoy"
