Yes, we won the air war in WWII, but plenty of military historians don't believe the bombing of civilian areas was the reason we won WWII. Even the dropping of nuclear weapons on Japan was not specifically targeted at civilians. I don't have to believe that air superiority is paramount in winning wars and believe that massacring civilians is the same thing, do I?
I will always want the US to be able to win on land, air, and sea.
Sherman was instrumental in winning the Civil War because he reduced the South’s willingness to fight, through total war.
