Given that the various other countries did not have true "strategic bombing" campaigns, it was really all about the U.S. and Britain.

Don't know where this chart came from, but it shows the USAAF with a slight edge over the Royal Air Force in tons of bombs dropped and number of sorties flown in Europe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ussb-1.jpg
