Originally assigned to the 328th Fighter Group, He later transferred to the 363d Fighter Squadron of the 357th Fighter Group, flying the P-39 “Airacobra.” In November 1943, the 363d was assigned to Leiston, England and became the first unit in the 8th Air Force to receive the P-51 Mustang. His squadron painted their Mustangs with red and yellow checkered noses and red rudders. Bud’s P-51 was named “Old Crow” after the whiskey brand. Bud’s first victory came on March 8th, 1944 when he destroyed an Me-109 while escorting Allied bombers on a raid of Berlin. A month later, he scored a second victory in nearly the same location, once again downing an Me-109. That same day Bud and three other pilots from his squadron took part in shooting down an He-111. Since all four pilots had shots on the bomber, they each got a quarter-kill. While on an escort mission to Czechoslovakia on May 12th, 1944, he became an ace when he downed an Me-109 near Frankfurt, Germany. Two weeks later, Bud scored a double victory against Me-109s while his fighter group destroyed twenty-three enemy aircraft in one day. Later, in June 1944, he scored a triple victory against Fw-190s. Bud completed his first combat tour in July 1944 with twelve and one-quarter victories to his credit. After a brief rest in the United States, he returned to Europe for a second tour in October 1944 and went on to become the leading ace of the 363d Fighter Squadron with sixteen and one-quarter aerial victories in 116 combat missions.
