About Bud Anderson & Bill Overstreet

Colonel Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson (1922-2024) was one of America's most respected fighter aces, credited with more than sixteen aerial victories while flying the famed P-51 Mustang "Old Crow." A member of the legendary 357th Fighter Group, Anderson became one of the most recognized Mustang pilots of World War II and later enjoyed a distinguished postwar career as a test pilot and Air Force officer.

Colonel William T. "Bill" Overstreet Jr. (1921-2013) also served with the celebrated 357th Fighter Group and became famous for one of the most remarkable pursuits of the war. While flying his P-51 Mustang, Overstreet chased and destroyed a German fighter beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris during the liberation of France, creating one of the most memorable stories in fighter aviation history.

Together, Anderson and Overstreet represent two of the most respected pilots of the 357th Fighter Group, one of the highest-scoring fighter units of the European Theater.

About the 357th Fighter Group

The 357th Fighter Group earned an extraordinary combat record while escorting Allied bombers deep into enemy territory over occupied Europe and Germany. Flying the North American P-51 Mustang, the group became known for its aggressive tactics and highly skilled pilots.

The unit produced numerous aces and played a critical role in securing Allied air superiority during the final years of the war. Its pilots faced enemy fighters, anti-aircraft fire, and dangerous weather while helping ensure the success of the strategic bombing campaign.

Today, the 357th Fighter Group remains one of the most celebrated fighter units in American aviation history.
