Toward the end of Anderson's two combat tours in Europe in 1944 he was promoted to major at 22, a young age even for a highly effective officer in wartime. Afterward, he became a test pilot and a fighter squadron and wing commander, serving a combat tour in the Vietnam War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnderson retired as a full colonel in 1972, after which he worked in flight test management for McDonnell Douglas.

Yeager was raised in Hamlin, West Virginia. His career began in World War II as a private in the United States Army, assigned to the Army Air Forces in 1941. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September 1942, he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of flight officer (the World War II Army Air Force version of the Army's warrant officer), later achieving most of his aerial victories as a P-51 Mustang fighter pilot on the Western Front, where he was credited with shooting down 11.5 enemy aircraft. The half credit is from a second pilot assisting him in a single shootdown. On October 12, 1944, he attained \"ace in a day\" status, shooting down five enemy aircraft in one mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gorgeous print in a lovely frame, ready for display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45103607808069,"sku":"ONSV26PCS273","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV26PCS273__01.jpg?v=1780672441","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-signed-limited-edition-print-framed-double-trouble-by-raymond-waddey-signed-by-357th-fighter-group-aces-chuck-yeager-and-bud-anderson-283-2000-19-x-23","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
