B1F "Tom Paine" Returns to Knettishall September 2003 In September 1943 a B17F joined the 388th Bomb Group at Knettishall near Thetford. Group staff knew that Thetford was the birthplace of Thomas Paine and decided to name the newly-arrived B17 "Tom Paine" in his honour. The aircraft flew a number of operational sorties before supporting Project APHRODITE missions (which was the use of unmanned radio-controlled bombers packed with explosives) from nearby Fersfield. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the aircraft's arrival in the UK, Phil McGahan, who is the Bursar at Thetford Grammar School, made a 1-72 scale model of "Tom Paine". The model was presented to David Calcutt representing the 388th Bomb Group Museum on the runway at Knettishall, which is still in use for private flying. Immediately prior to the presentation, the model landed at the airfield in a light aircraft flown by Ian Clark, who is a Governor of Thetford Grammar School and who has himself flown from Knettishall for over 30 years.

Paine’s COMMON SENSE played a major role in educating and politicizing the people of colonial America so they were ready to fight back and take America from the British.

47. Who Was Tom Paine - By Howard Fast WHO WAS tom paine? By Howard Fast. This is it. Twice, young tom paine attempted to run away to sea, to ship aboard a privateer. Well http://www.trussel.com/hf/paine.htm

WHO WAS TOM PAINE? By Howard Fast "THERE is not an idea in it (the Declaration of Independence) but what had been hackneyed in Congress for two years before. . . ." So wrote the Federalist John Adams. Jefferson, the well-loved and trusted leader of the democratic forces in America, had been for some time the foremost target of the anti-democratic Federalists. He knew how to take mudslinging; quietly, he answered: "I did not consider it as any part of my charge to invent new ideas altogether and to offer no sentiment which had never been expressed before. Not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of, not merely to say things which had never been said before; but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject. Neither aiming at originality of principles or sentiments, it was intended to be an expression of the American mind The italics are mine; but it is no accident that, so many years after, Jefferson refers to the ideas incorporated into the Declaration of Independence as common sense the title of Paine's first and far-reaching major work. And the phrase "expression of the American mind" is one of the most important clues, not only to the writings of Paine and Jefferson, but to the whole democratic system that sprang from their times.

48. Citizen Tom Paine, By Howard Fast CITIZEN tom paine. Some would still have it that waytoday s inheritors of the hatred of the people, the lineal descendants of tom paine s enemies. http://www.trussel.com/hf/plots/t661.htm

CITIZEN TOM PAINE Howard Fast's novel about an immortal American who "scorched a message on the minds of men." "Damned be his fame, and lasting his shame-" Thus runs one line of a horrible bit of doggerel set going against Paine by his enemies in America. It sticks in the mind. Some would still have it that way-today's inheritors of the hatred of the people, the lineal descendants of Tom Paine's enemies. The name of Paine means much the same thing to fascists as it did to the organizers of counter-revolution in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. But the works of Tom Paine (the words and the deeds) have survived the innumerable assaults on the man. When Paine spoke, he spoke as a citizen of the worldthe new world: the voice of the common man was his conscious utterance. And that fact is something which cannot be howled down, for the people do not readily forget the great men who fought in the historic battles for their freedom. They know whom to damn, and whose fame is lasting! Among the cabal which has gathered against Paine the chief point of attack has been his character, particularly certain facts about his life which have been magnified and distorted with the object of deflecting attention from his great revolutionary vision and his immortal services to our country. This line of attack began in Paine's own lifetime and reached a climax of personal persecution after the printing of

The Old Cause by Joseph R. Stromberg March 27, 2000 Tom Paine (1737-1809) on War, Governments, and Trade PAINE’S REPUTATION T he English radical Thomas Paine was without contest the greatest propagandist of the American Revolution – in Common Sense The Crisis , and other writings. His The Rights of Man , written in response to Edmund Burke’s broad attack on both English liberal republicanism and the fast-shifting French Revolution, has its merits as a summary of revolutionary liberalism, even if the French exercise itself proved a bit abortive. Paine had his critics – from John Adams, who called Paine "a keen writer but very ignorant of the science of government," to Teddy Roosevelt, who dismissed Paine as "a filthy little atheist." When Paine returned to America in 1802, after a decade and more spent trying to keep the French on track, he found himself generally shunned as an infidel, having had the bad judgment, perhaps, to publish in the meantime his views on religion. 20 th -century leftists have presented Paine – a great "bourgeois radical" – as a sort of Popular Front hero.

Navigate the whole of Lincolnshire-web from the dropdown menus above One of a series of articles about people with Lincolnshire links and claims to fame, home or abroad. Tom Paine It is inhuman to talk of a million sterling a year, paid out of the public taxes of any country, for the support of any individual, while thousands who are forced to contribute thereto, are pining with want, and struggling with misery. What is called the splendour of a throne is no other than the corruption of the state. It is made up of a band of parasites, living in luxurious indolence, out of the public taxes.' Thomas Paine T OM PAINE as born at Thetford, Norfolk, in 1737 and began his working life making corsets, apprenticed to his father. If anything was to inspire a man to break the bonds of arbitrary government, a restrictive society and claim freedom this was it. It was a while, though, before any of the urge for freedom appeared. After having worked for a couple of years in Grantham, he became an excise man based at Alford for about a year, until August 1765. Taxation then made the smuggled importation of brandy particularly and of tobacco, highly lucrative Hammer Films made numerous versions of the basic tale just as spirits and tobacco are brought in today from Europe by individuals and the organised whom the government pursue as Paine did. But this exposure to the way taxes worked in the real world provided substance to his later writings when in America.

Tom Paine's cottage at New Rochelle 'We have heard The Rights of Man called a levelling system; but the only system to which the word levelling is truly applicable is the hereditary monarchical system. It is a system of mental levelling. It indiscriminately admits every species of character to the same authority. Vice and virtue, ignorance and wisdom, in short, every quality, good or bad, is put on the same level.' Part of Tom Paine's response to Edmund Burke To tax and to please, no more than to love and to be wise, is not given to men. From a speech by Burke on American Taxation (1774) William Cobbett, a great admirer of Tom Paine, went to America to collect his bones, intending to bring them back and bury them with an appropriate memorial. Somehow, with the project not finding much favour, and with time passing, Tom Paine's bones were lost. Thomas Paine F ITTINGLY, TOM PAINE'S ARRIVAL in America had coincided with the build-up to the War of Independence which broke out in April, the following year, 1775.

54. Review | The Pearl Of Kuwait By Tom Paine So how is it that tom paine can split our sides with a novel best described as a totally cool surfer dude has a gnarly Lawrence of Arabia Meets Huckleberry http://www.januarymagazine.com/fiction/pearlofkuwait.html

The Pearl of Kuwait by Tom Paine Published by Harcourt 310 pages, 2003 War is Funny as Hell Reviewed by David Abrams War is no laughing matter. So how is it that Tom Paine can split our sides with a novel best described as "a totally cool surfer dude has a gnarly Lawrence of Arabia Meets Huckleberry Finn -ish experience in the Gulf War"? By the time the picaresque adventure of two Marines on a mission to rescue a Kuwaiti princess finally winds down, The Pearl of Kuwait has done an awesome job at making us alternately grin at and grieve over the Desert Storm combat experience but mostly grin. Following in the bootprints of war comedies like Catch-22, M*A*S*H and Three Kings , Paine's debut novel convinces us that war is not only hell, it's funny as hell. In a review of Paine's previous collection of short stories, Scar Vegas January Magazine reviewer Charles Smyth said that Paine "writes in a direct, forceful style reminiscent of Hemingway's." In his first novel, there's plenty of prose that moves forward like a rattling machine gun. On the other hand, fans of the movie

Corrections "Scar Vegas and Other Stories" by Tom Paine In an amazing debut, a fired-up writer takes aim at dumb American swaggerers and corporate greed. By Maria Russo T om Paine wants to knock the world off its feet, yank its legs up in the air and shake it around till it cries uncle. And he pretty much does just that in "Will You Say Something, Monsieur Eliot?" the breathtaking story that opens his first collection, "Scar Vegas." Eliot is a king-of-the-world type, a rich, handsome, cocksure Princeton grad who goes through women like so many candy bars and pours money into his true love, a perfect sailboat called Bliss. When we meet him, however, he and Bliss are getting their comeuppance in a fierce Caribbean storm: The wooden yawl shuddered deep in her timbers, and Eliot was catapulted from the cockpit and landed chin first on the deck and heard his molars shatter. Weightless for a moment as Bliss dropped, Eliot again cracked down against the deck like a fish. The bow rose up the fall of a mountain of water and Eliot fell headfirst toward the wheel. His heavy arms locked in the spokes, and his Adam's apple crunched on mahogany, and he was upside down, bare feet to the sky. The wheel of fortune, imported quite nicely to the late 20th century. But what Paine has in mind is not just the terrible justice of this world-upside-down moment. Half-dead, Eliot is rescued days later by a boatload of Haitian refugees, themselves dying of thirst and starvation. To them, this maimed Yankee

57. The Philosophy Of Thomas Paine, By Thomas Edison tom paine has almost no influence on presentday thinking in the United States because he is unknown to the average citizen. Perhaps http://www.aldeism.com/paine.html

The Philosophy of Paine an essay by Thomas A. Edison June 7, 1925 Tom Paine has almost no influence on present-day thinking in the United States because he is unknown to the average citizen. Perhaps I might say right here that this is a national loss and a deplorable lack of understanding concerning the man who first proposed and first wrote those impressive words, 'the United States of America.' But it is hardly strange. Paine's teachings have been debarred from schools everywhere and his views of life misrepresented until his memory is hidden in shadows, or he is looked upon as of unsound mind. We never had a sounder intelligence in this Republic. He was the equal of Washington in making American liberty possible. Where Washington performed Paine devised and wrote. The deeds of one in the Weld were matched by the deeds of the other with his pen. Washington himself appreciated Paine at his true worth. Franklin knew him for a great patriot and clear thinker. He was a friend and confidant of Jefferson, and the two must often have debated the academic and practical phases of liberty. I consider Paine our greatest political thinker. As we have not advanced, and perhaps never shall advance, beyond the Declaration and Constitution, so Paine has had no successors who extended his principles. Although the present generation knows little of Paine's writings,and although he has almost no influence upon contemporary thought, Americans of the future will justly appraise his work. I am certain of it.
