Chuck Yeager & CE Bud Anderson Dual Signed "Double Trouble" Lithograph (AIV) WWII 357th FG Aces

Presented is a limited edition lithograph titled Double Trouble by aviation artist Ray Waddey, hand signed in pencil by Colonel Clarence Emil “Bud” Anderson (1922–2023) and Brigadier General Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager (1923–2020). The autographs have been authenticated by AI-Verified and come with their Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring both verification and long-term preservation.

This historically significant print depicts two of America’s most renowned aviators—Bud Anderson and Chuck Yeager—flying side by side in their iconic P-51 Mustangs of the famed 357th Fighter Group, the “Yoxford Boys,” during World War II. The image captures the spirit of camaraderie and excellence that defined the Mustang pilots who helped secure Allied air superiority over Europe.

Colonel C.E. “Bud” Anderson was a triple-ace with 16¼ confirmed aerial victories, completing over 100 combat missions without being hit or losing a wingman. Serving with the 357th Fighter Group, he became one of the most respected leaders and tacticians of the U.S. Army Air Forces. After the war, Anderson continued his service as a test pilot and Air Force officer, and in 2022 he was promoted to honorary Brigadier General, a fitting tribute to his lifelong dedication to aviation.

Brigadier General Chuck Yeager gained fame as a fighter ace with the 357th Fighter Group before going on to make history as the first man to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the Bell X-1 “Glamorous Glennis.” Yeager’s accomplishments as a combat pilot, test pilot, and instructor made him one of the most revered figures in aviation history.

This dual-signed Double Trouble lithograph, authenticated by AI-Verified, unites the signatures of two legendary airmen whose skill, bravery, and friendship epitomized the golden age of American air combat and flight innovation.
