Boy, this thread took a neat turn. Just happened to look in again. CE "Bud" Anderson is the father of a friend of mine whom I have had the fortune, on more than one occasion, to hear recount his tales of glory from WWII. Bud Anderson piloted "Old Crow" and is a triple ace (16 and 1/4 kills) and Chuck Yeager was his wingman in Europe. Bud is truly a great American. He has a terrific web site:
Col. C.E."Bud" Anderson
To hear him relive his engagements is truly a thrill. He says he can close his eyes and still see each and every detail of each of his kills.
Also, if you are into this sort of thing, pick up his book. A great read:
