Air Power?

I don't understand why infantry or armor that is unprotected by anti-aircraft or air cover can so degrade bomber units. In reality such a condition would be suicide for the ground units, especially if they are in open country outside of any kind of fortification. It's kind of silly for me to build or pursue air power when it can be defeated by infantry.

Am I the victim of some sort of hack? I currently in a game where my bombers are being shoot down by simple infantry, it just doesn't make sense

You said on the day and after it. On the day, they did very little and ships had to do it. Have you heard of how well they worked at Arnhem? They did terrible....
Allied intelligence fucked up during Market Garden. They had no idea the Panzers were there.
Actually people in very high places were warned by intercepted Enigma messages and Dutch Underground. However this information was ignored or the Enigma messages could not be read by 1st Airborne.

Correct.

"I came, I saw, I conquered" Written in a report to Rome 47 B.C., after conquering Pharnaces at Zela in Asia Minor in just five days; as quoted in Life of Caesar by Plutarch; reported to have been inscribed on one of the decorated wagons in the Pontic triumph, in Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Julius, by Suetonius.
"Alea iacta est" Gaius Julius Caesar.
