Re: Colonel C.E. Bud Anderson
I just looked over his site real quick I didn't see anything on it. I'll look again later. I have read his Biography"To fly and Fight" and have written him, but I have never heard of him being shot down. His last combat flight in the ETO has been written about many times. Yeager and Anderson went off on thier own for a "tour " of Europe. They did land back at Leiston together. Bob

Re: Colonel C.E. Bud Anderson
According to his bio (p. 164/165) Jan 14th 1945 was his last combat sortie, together with Chuck Yeager. They got separated from the group and got home last without any kills, whereas the Group claimed 50 - it having been a very active day.
Must be mixing up something Brian.

Re: Colonel C.E. Bud Anderson
Brian - Bud was never shot down. His Wingman and close friend Jim Browning was shot down KIA. Bud named his son after Jim.
