P-51D Mustang Bud Anderson Blank Birthday Greeting Card by Alex Hamilton GAvA

Triple-ace Clarence 'Bud' Anderson of the 363rd Fighter Squadron, 357th Fighter Group is seen after having taken part in an escort mission deep into Germany during the winter of 1944-45.

The title comes from Bud's reply to a question from a newspaper reporter who asked where the name Old Crow came from. Anderson thought it inappropriate to say from a make of Bourbon so replied that the crow was the wisest bird.
