Interesting:
"World War II Allied Bombing Campaign
U.S. Air Force Academy history professor Colonel Mark Wells talks about the role of bombers and fighter planes in the Allied strategy during World War II. He also described the progression in air technology during this period. Colonel Wells argued that Allied air power helped bring about the ned of the war. This class is part of a course called “Airpower History.”"

Dude does a good job to cover the whole thing in under an hour, though he's going to golly-gee off the Jugoon fans.
Edit: - Oh, and I like the way the students in the class appear to be listening, as opposed to slavishly copying down word for word what the instructor says, as if it's some kind of exercise in dictation. "Close those joetammin laptops!"

That is what I thought to. Really the best talk about the Allied bombing campaign in WWII in just under an hour that I have ever heard (and, I should say, better than most talks that go on for a lot longer).
Here are other C Span videos on WWII that you may find interesting. (I have not gone through all of them yet):
