Those bombers were tactical bombers meant to be employed on the battlefield and were very successful. Stratiegic bombers such as the 17, 24 and 29 were miserable in tactical combat roles (the B29 was pathetic in Korea when applied to tactical jobs). The B17's were of no real value at Midway and didn't do much at Normandy either. But, the medium bombers were very effective in ground and sea attack.
