"Crew of B-17 Flying Fortress 'Tom Paine' (42-30793) prepares for a mission. When the men of an 8th Air Force Group gave the town of Thetford, England, a plaque, honoring it as the birthplace of Thomas Paine, American patriot, philosopher and author, the crew of a B-17 thought it appropriate to name their plain 'Tom Paine' and to inscribe the fuselage with one of his famous remarks, 'Tyranny, like Hell, is not easily conquered.'"
History of this B-17: "Delivered Cheyenne 29/7/43; Dyersburg 8/8/43; Assigned: 562BS/388BG Knettishall 3/9/43; crashed Ellough, Nfk, on return from a mission Pilot: Bob McWhite; Salvaged. 11/4/44. TOM PAINE."

On Veterans Day the service men and women of this country deserve our highest gratitude, admiration, and respect. Many have no idea what they sacrifice physically, mentally, and emotionally to ensure that the people we love, maintain a freedom and quality of life that is unmatched.
