WW2
Triple Ace CE “Bud” Anderson Autographed P-51 Old Crow Photograph! Mint!
CE
“Bud” Anderson flew P-51 Mustang Fighter Planes in 1944 and 1945. He was
credited with 16 ¼ kills during his two tours of duty in the Air Corps. After
the war he became an Air Force test pilot and flew combat missions in Vietnam
in the F-105 Thunderchief, also known as the Thud. The North American P-51
Mustang was one of the most remarkable fighter airplanes of WW2. Given its
firepower (six .50 caliber machine guns), speed, maneuverability, and range it
helped the American pilots clear the skies over Germany of the vaunted
Luftwaffe. Anderson’s flying skills were such that he never suffered an abort
or any combat damage during his tour of duty. At age 101, Mr. Anderson is also the last living triple Ace from WW2.
Item is an 8 x 10” black & white photograph of
Anderson sitting on the wing of his P-51 Mustang named Old Crow. The photograph is in mint condition and
Anderson has signed with black ink. For his 100th birthday, Mr. Anderson was promoted to General, and he is the last surviving triple ace in the world. This is his ACTUAL autograph, not a copy or
autopen. The photograph is in mint condition.

Shipping
Information:
I
don’t like paying shipping any more than you do. In reality I only break even
or oftentimes lose money with every item that I ship. But that is my commitment
to my buyers for safe, secure and inexpensive shipping. I will happily combine
shipping for multiple purchases. Photographs are triple protected placed inside
a plastic cover, sandwiched in a manila folder and packed between two stiff
cardboard sheets. The outside of the package is marked clearly DO NOT BEND! First
class S&H is $4 domestic; international rates are $15.00 for 1st class
global. International bidders are most welcome but please realize that overseas shipping rates have risen dramatically. I'm only charging my costs for international shipping.
Thanks for visiting my auctions and
good luck with your bidding!
