On 6 March 1944, the 357th Fighter Group took off to escort B-24s to Berlin. The group commander aborted, and Major Hayes, 364th Squadron Commander, took the lead. The Luftwaffe was up, and the Group engaged in combat from treetop level to 26,000 feet. Major Hayes downed an Me109 at low level near Uelzen. He then led other P-51s in strafing an airfield, damaging aircraft, the control tower, and a locomotive. By 1600 hours, all P-51s returned, claiming 20 enemy aircraft destroyed, with no losses. His strafing attack became a tactic that would be adopted by the group and would pay big dividends.

The autograph includes an official PSA/DNA hologram for authenticity purposes.
