Re: Classic pic of two top aces ...
Jim,
I don't believe that Bud was ever POW in Europe. He was shot down on March 27, 1944, and returned to military control on May 7. He could not return to combat in Europe, so ended up as CO of the 3rd Fighter (Commando) Sqn, and took it to the Philippines, where he scored one more victory.
Frank.
