Here is a Public Relations photo of Major Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson Jr. of the 363rd Fighter Squadron, 357th Fighter Group and his Crew Chief, Sergeant Leon E. Zimmerman after completion of Anderson's second combat tour in January 1945. Their P-51 Mustangs had completed 116 consecutive missions, 480 operational hours without a single early return due to mechanical problems. Major Anderson is officially credited with 16.25 confirmed victories, two probable victories and one ground victory. His WWII awards included the Distinguished Flying Cross with four Oak Leaf Clusters and the Air Medal with 13 Oak leaf Clusters. Photo: USAAF via starduststudios.com
