Europe was a close range land war, and Great Britain was used as a bomber base for US aircraft. All allied bombers could reach Germany from Britain, and all German bombers could reach England. The war with Japan was a naval war and was out of bomber range for the allies (a long range war), thus the Island Hopping campaign TO GET WITHIN BOMBING RANGE! Japan wasn't bombed until the Superfortress was develped (the Doolittle Raid was a token retaliation raid by B25 Mitchell medium bombers launched from aircraft carriers) in 1944.
