Mission to Munster
The views and opinions expressed in this story are solely that of the author, unless stated otherwise. It was a beautiful fall day at Thorpe Abbott RAF airbase. Ground and buildings got smaller as the gigantic B-17, Royal Flush, slowly climbed to its cruising altitude. Looking out of the cockpit, Robert, "Rosie" Rosenthal's thoughts turned once more to the early morning briefing. This mission was different than the last two, as the target was going to be civilians. He and the crew were tired. This was the third straight mission in as many days. Schweinfurt and Bremen had been extremely stressful. The number of casualties and fighter planes were both high. "Penny for your thoughts," aske Winifred "Pappy" Lewis, Rosie's Copilot. "Just thinking about today's mission," Rosie answered. "This is the first time we're going to bomb civilian targets." "That's ok," Pappy answered." "The Grouts have taken enough of our boys. They've got what's coming to them. Anyway, any sign of our fighter escort? We're already across the Channel, half way to the Baltic." "Nothing yet, but they're probably just delayed, Rosie replied."

Separating Fact from Fiction in Life
Introduction In today's world, it can be hard to separate facts from myths. A fact is an observable truth that stands up to examination and cannot be disputed; a myth is often based on traditional beliefs or superstitions rather than scientific evidence. It is important for us to recognize the differences between these two concepts in order to make informed decisions and have accurate knowledge about our lives and the world around us. Knowing the difference between fact and myth allows us to better understand our environment, question information we hear, and develop critical thinking skills. Furthermore, recognizing when something may not be true can help prevent false conclusions from being made which could lead to misguided actions with potentially serious consequences.
