Change in Bombing Priorites 1941

[Chris Goss]

Tony: In all honesty it does not answer my question. Following 10-11 May attack on London, other attacks do occur (11-12 May airfields; 12-13, 13-14, 15-16 coastal targets; 16-17 Birmingham; 17-18, 18-19, 19-20 coastal) before (reduced) city attacks recommence in June. Could it be that coasatl/shipping attacks were simply in advance of and in support of the escape of the capital ships and the general reduction in response to the mass movement of yet more bomber Geschwadern to the east/Balkans and Mediterranean?
