In theory, bombing manpower is supposed to be like the night fire-bombing raids. In theory, you can permanentlydestroy resouces centers for more VPs (instead of just damaging them), thru fire-bombing raids.
Fires sound neat, but you actually need thousands of them and sustain them to do any good. Unfortuanly, t's impossible to sustain them long enough to do any real damage. It's best to just pick a specific target like resources, heavy industry, or whatever, and no bother with hitting manpower (for fire-bombing).
If you dig around, you can find some testing of strat bombing (some which seems to indicate that bombing manpower is effective). But suffice to say that I "respectfully disagree" with both the methods and conclusions that manpower is useful. I've tested it extensively myself both in controlled tests and "the hard way" (in PBEM), and basically bombing manpower is a colossal waste of bombs.
