Leading a 2-ship formation on 2 October 1941, ""Red"" McColpin saw a group of German Me-109Fs climbing to intercept his flight. The two Spitfires dove on the enemy formation of 18 to 20 aircraft, and McColpin and his wingman soon ""sandwiched"" the nearest foe. Both Americans fired and the Me-109 burst into flames. McColpin then broke left and found himself in position for attack on another fighter. After another short burst from McColpin's machine guns, the second Me-109 spun away with smoke pouring out. While he watched the plane hit the ground, McColpin saw a third enemy fighter below him. He chased his new target to within 3,000 feet of the ground, where a short but lethal burst from his guns sent his third victim to the earth in flames.

The lot / autograph(s) includes an official PSA/DNA hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
