Walker Melville ‚ÄúBud‚"" Mahurin was the first American double ace in Europe during World War II. Scoring triple victories on three occasions during World War II, ""Bud "" Mahurin achieved his first triple tally on 4 October 1943. While escorting heavy bombers over the Ruhr Valley on this day, he spotted 40 to 60 German Me-110s closing on the bomber formation. He counterattacked in his P-47, ripping apart the first and second Me-110s, then raced ahead to catch up with the bombers. Suddenly, Mahurin saw another Me-110 heading home. He then jumped the straggler and fired his remaining ammunition until the enemy pilot bailed out. ""Bud"" Mahurin became an ace with his fourth, fifth, and sixth kills on this mission."
