The point was the operational service life of the Vengeance, which wasn't very long, as the Vengeance was regarded as being inferior to other aircraft which had become available to Allied forces.

It was judged inferior to the Hurricane IV, Liberator, Typhoon, Spitfire, in fact to anything that could fly, by the Air Marshals.
But since the objectivity of the Air Marshals stands condemned by their own words and actions that are on the record, it is circular to argue that the Vengeance was regarded as being inferior because it was regarded as being inferior.
If you want to understand this whole appalling story, then read Peter C. Smith's 'Vengeance!'.
