I really do urge you to read Max Hastings' "Bomber Command" on this question and his trenchant observations on just how ill-prepared Bomber command in fact was for what it had always assumed it would do in the event of war.

P.S. I still think Fighter Command did a pretty good job in the Battle of Britain - we're still here, aren't we? - so give the RAF some credit.
