The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force will hold its second annual Air Force Heritage and History Writing Competition.

The competition is open to public, private school and homeschooled students between the ages of 13 and 18.

The research questions for this year’s competition are: The Doolittle Raiders encountered various problems prior to and in route to their mission. Identify three of these problems and the remedies implemented. Based on the remedies, do you believe the overall mission was successful? Why or why not? Use research evidence to support your argument.

Those interested in participating must notify the museum’s Education Division no later than Dec. 31 by sending an email to erin.craig@wpafb.af.mil, indicating in the subject line that it is for the Student Writing Competition.

Final submissions must be submitted via email by Feb. 17.

A complete list of competition guidelines is available on the museum’s website at www. nationalmuseum.af.mi.

A $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to the first-place winner, $700 to the second-place winner, and $300 to the third-place winner.
