"To Fly and Fight; Memoirs of a Triple Ace"
« on: July 14, 2005, 07:10:18 PM »
My mom bought this book from the Library today. Suprisingly, it's in great condition. It's been signed by Col. Clarence E. "Bud" Anderson and Joseph P. Hamelin. I haven't read much of it yet, but it seems to be a pretty good book.

ISBN 0-312-05171-9
A Rook who first flew 09/26/03 at the age of 13, has been a GL in 10+ Scenarios, and was two-time Points and First Annual 68KO Cup winner of the AH Extreme Air Racing League.

Bud spoke at one of the Air Warrior Conventions a few years ago. I heard it was great. As usual, I was stuck at work.
