Title: "To Fly and Fight; Memoirs of a Triple Ace"
Post by: OOZ662 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

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.

I believe Bud Anderson spoke at the Indy AW convention.  I bought his book and got his signature to boot!!  :D


Very good read, especially when he get talking about his last "mission"  :D
