This Friday, May 17, Clarence Emil "Bud" Anderson, the last triple ace of the United States in that war, has taken his last flight to heaven. He has died in the town of Auburn, California, where he had resided for many years. He was 102 years old and he was also the oldest of the few American aces from that war who are still among us.
