Bloody, bruised, and battered, Falls Church’s football team fought on in the fourth quarter. A football flew through the air as players crashed into one another sprinting to the ball, except I wasn’t on the field, nor was I on the sideline. I was a freshman watching our varsity footall team lose 0 to 48 on homecoming night, a familiar sight to many Falls Church students for the past 40 years.

Intro: From 1940 to 1945, Allied Bombers fought tirelessly in the grey skies of Germany in a campaign known as Bomber Command. Bomber Command during World War 2 was a very controversial topic due to the effectiveness and morality of the overall campaign. Some historians like W.A.B. Douglas and B. Greenhous argue that Bomber Command was ineffective as its strategic air offensive was intended to win the war, or at the very least to shorten it significantly by destroying pro­duction facilities, which it failed at doing. Contrary, Richard Overy believes that Bomber Command was decently effective as the bombers were supposed to help the infantry and navy take down the Germans collectively, and they did by 1945.
