Research Update

          I have been researching pretty well. My topic is about how planes and their weapons impacted World War 2. I have been doing pretty well with it even though I am still flip-flopping between looking at all the countries involved in the war and looking only at the allies or even just the americans. I haven't found very much country specific information so far, but I guess if I do I will use my second idea and if not just use the more general topic.
          My research has been going pretty well so far, but I have been having a little bit of difficulty with specifics and it also seems like I get a lot of lists of planes instead of general information about them. This problem has been solved a little bit by using the databases, and I didn't even know that there was such a thing as google scholar (Thanks Dr. D). These have helped me to get some good sources, but I still need two for Friday. I am also having trouble finding a primary source and am wondering if anyone else has had luck with a certain website or type of search. Overall my research is coming together pretty well.

  1. You may try books or JSTOR has history journals that might be more helpful. For primary sources, a military document with reference to the types of planes would be wonderful.
