I'm not sure if this is the type of thing that you want, but I found that it had some interesting material. It is the daily reports for the 91st Bomb Group from October 1942 through March 1943:
http://www.91stbombgroup.com/91stdailies.html

The 323rd Squadron of the 91st Bomb Group has theirs transcribed from April 1942 through the end of the war:
http://91stbombgroup.com/323rddailies.html

The 91st Bomb Group is the only bomb group of the 8th Air Force that has put such material online (that I know of).

It occurs to me that this thread hasn't been updated for a while.

These are a few photo archives that I look at regularly :-

The good old IWM (but perhaps not everybody has seen it)

Welcome the Imperial War Museum's Collections Home Page

The Canadian Archives (lots of pictures taken in the UK and Europe).

Archives Search - Library and Archives Canada

Stilltime - No specific WW2 section but lots for vehicle enthusiasts and the wartime shots crop up in odd places.

Stilltime.net Stilltime.net

British Pathé - Not the easiest site but wonderful moving images, some with sound including Bren Carriers gunning their V-8s and the possibility to view stills at 1 second intervals. Lots of Mr. Cholmondley-Warner moments.

British Pathe Limited

Rich.
