摘要

Famously, the late Chuck Yeager said that Bud Anderson was "the best fighter pilot I ever saw." And coming from General Yeager, that's saying a lot. But it hardly comes close to capturing the whole picture. Anderson, the sole surviving triple fighter ace, has done it all and then some.Anderson was born on Jan. 13,1922, in Oakland, California. He grew up on a farm and, at the age of 7, got his first look at aviation when his father took him out to a small dirt airfield, where the youngster got a ride in a Stearman open-cockpit biplane. Anderson later described the flight as "intoxicating, exciting and a little frightening." He was hooked, and at the age of 19, he learned to fly in a Piper J-3 Cub through the Civilian Pilot Training Program.After enlisting as an aviation cadet at 21, the minimum age, Anderson progressed from flying Stearman open-cockpit biplanes up to the AT-6 Texan. From there it was, as every new pilot knew, off to war, and Anderson soon got his orders to Europe, where he quickly proved his mettle and joined the 357th Fighter Group, whose pilots were flying the new North American P-51 Mustang. Anderson gave his Mustang the nickname Old Crow, after the famous bourbon. The mission was to escort B-17s to targets deep inside Germany. The risk was enormous. More than half of the original 28 pilots didn't return from their missions.
