The red air force was doing just fine against the luftwaffe. Bombing non military civilian targets didn’t win us the war. Our war on german industry was a failure. German production actually increased in every year of the war.
The Red Air Force never had air superiority over the Luftwaffe until 1943, when half of the planes were diverted to countering our bombing campaign.
German industry increased until 1944 because Hitler didn't fully mobilize the German economy for war until 1942-43. The reason he so eagerly embraced the concept of Blitzkrieg was because it produced rapid results at far less costs than huge battles of attrition. He was afraid that German support for the war would collapse like it did in 1917 if he pushed them too hard by maximizing the economic focus on military concepts. So, he didn't fully mobilize the German economy until he started losing. Before that, he didn't believe it was needed and would actually undermine the war effort. If we had not been bombing the crap out of Germany, its economic output would have increased much more rapidly = more dead Americans and Brits.
