and just to pile on, lemme add that there's add'l synergy to be found when your sqns and their local AirHQ are assigned to the same commandHQ (also there's a sense that the basehex command HQ should be changed to match, but i'm not certain about that).
so after you've spent PP on upgrading your sqn leaders, & your AirHQ leaders, you have the add'l opportunity to spend more PP on your command structure. so for example, you're flying out of bases in the Marianas, and have 'XI Bomber Command' in Guam. nearby sqns will get more benefit from being inside that HQ's command radius if they're assigned to 'XI Bomber Command'.
when you've got your bomber offensive running, don't get upset by combat results that show a main effort by 189 planes, followed by attacks from a few groups of 18 or 9 planes. due to the multiple 'checks' that the game-engine imposes, it's extremely rare that all your bombers will arrive over a target at the same time, usually you'll always get a few 2ndary attacks. but if 2ndary attacks involve more than 15% of your total strength, you'll need to review your command & leader assignments.
i guess the bottom line is, that during the late game, your 4E sqns need a lot of hands-on management. based on the loss-screen you posted, i'd imagine you're having trouble keeping these sqns equipped w/ airframe replacements. IMO you need to stand down awhile - re-think, re-organize & re-build. Allied 4E can deliver devastating damage. you must decide how they operate - do you want a continuous attack, or a surge/rebuild cycle?
AFAIK, playing against the AI at 'very hard' level gives it no advantage to combat results, but allows it to ignore restrictions usually imposed when supply levels are low.
