Bud Anderson in "Old Crow" and Chuck Yeager in "Glamorous
Glen III" as they lift off from the main runway at Leiston
on the morning of January 14, 1945. This was the last mission
of the second tour for both pilots, and with little chance of
contact with the Luftwaffe, the two decided to go off on a sight-seeing
tour. They dropped their wing tanks and strafed them, buzzed
a hotel on Lake Annecy and arrived back at Leiston late in the
day having flown over 1,000 miles. They also discovered that
they had missed the biggest day for the 357th Fighter Group,
during which the unit had scored 55 plus victories.
Signed by Chuck Yeager and Bud Anderson. |
