If a province has fighters, do I only have to win the dogfight for my bomber to drop the bomb? Or, can it only be in provinces w/ out air support?

If your bomber wins against the fighters, the bomb will be dropped. If your bomber lose, it may be shot down, or retreat if you are lucky.
The safest way is of course to bomb a province without fighters, yes.

But, if he's escorted by fighters.... They win the dogfight, he drops the bomb. Same idea, right?
I believe so. I've never nuked anyone in HOI but I have sent fighter escorts with my tacticle/dive bomber groups, won the dogfight and watched my bombers continue with their bombing mission. Must be the same case with atomic bombing runs as well.
Sounds like you're getting ready to nuke the Soviets in your current game?

Did not think of it because when i send in my Strategic Bombers, the distance i generally to far to send fighters along, deep strike missions you know
I assumed you meant a nuclear attack with a Strategic Bomber. It is always advisable to send along fighter escort whenever you can.
