Allied bombings had little to do with delays in getting V-1s
operational, so presuming an early debut of them is unrealistic. (same
thing with jets, buggy and immature technology combined with limits in
the industrial base kept them delayed)

More to the point the project wasnt even sanctioned until June 1942
and then only as a result of the unsustainable losses that had forced
the Luftwaffe to abandon its air attacks on the UK

The bombing of Peenemunde didnt happen until August 1943
so it hardly be claimed that it would have been in service earlier
had it never happened. Indeed bereft of the need to build a
weapon to attack London its hard to imagine it would have
ever been built at all.
