Yes, damaged base will cost some planes and res... but that's small price to pay for a guaranteed bombing support in a node of your choosing (unlike those support expeditions... ugh!)

As for planes, assuming that you go BCGHJ route, you will need planes with at least 5 point in combat radius to be able to reach nodes H and J. There are plenty buildable planes that can do this.

For fighters, Reppu has a range of 5; Zero model 52 has a range of 6. For easy mode, these planes with double chevron should be enough to protect your bombers.

For bombers, Suisei model 12A has 5 range; Ryuusei and Ryuusei kai have 6 range. You land-based bombers should have more than enough range to reach both nodes.
