A proper root cause analysis will lay a fair bit of blame on Herr Hitler, and the 1920s and 1930s European governments that did nothing to enforce the Treaty of Versailles. RAF top brass, Churchill, and the 2TAF did what they could with the mess they had been handed.
I have a hard time understanding why you keep bringing up the Vengeance. The Americans had a lot of them too, and found they couldn't stand up to Japanese air power. Do you really think they would have done much good in Europe? Personally, I view them as a slightly updated Fairey Battle, with all the same potential for greatness.
