About C. E. "Bud" Anderson

Colonel Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson was one of America's most accomplished World War II fighter aces, serving with the legendary 363rd Fighter Squadron, 357th Fighter Group in the European Theater.

Flying the iconic North American P-51 Mustang, Anderson was officially credited with 16¼ aerial victories, making him one of the leading American aces of the war. His famous aircraft, "Old Crow," became one of the best-known P-51 Mustangs of World War II.

Following the war, Anderson continued his distinguished military career as a United States Air Force officer and test pilot, flying more than 130 different aircraft and making lasting contributions to military aviation.

Today, authentic Bud Anderson autographs remain among the most sought-after signatures in World War II aviation collecting.

Historical Significance

The 357th Fighter Group, and particularly the 363rd Fighter Squadron, earned an outstanding combat reputation while escorting Allied bombers deep into occupied Europe and engaging the Luftwaffe in some of the fiercest aerial battles of the war.

Bud Anderson's inscription, "P-51 Old Crow, 116 Combat Missions, 480 Combat Hours" directly commemorates both the elite unit in which he served and his remarkable combat record as one of America's leading fighter aces.

Authentic inscribed Anderson photographs remain highly desirable because they provide a direct connection to one of the most accomplished P-51 Mustang pilots of World War II.
