Bud Mahurin was always photographed with a big smile on his face, especially in his early WWII photographs. He couldn't have known that he was one of two US fliers who would be shot down in two different wars. As an outstanding young flier with the famed 56th Fighter Group in World War Two, he flew over Nazi-occupied Europe, downing 19.75 German airplanes, and later, in the Pacific, he downed 1 Japanese aircraft. He became the Eighth Air Force's first double ace (10 victories) on November 26, in a raid over Bremen. In March, 1944, he shared credit for destruction of a Do-217 bomber over Tours, but was shot down himself. He evaded capture, and made his way back to England in May. To protect the Resistance fighters, ETO rules forbade evades from flying combat in Europe. So Mahurin went to the Pacific, as CO of the 3rd Air Commando Group, and scored the last of his WWII kills here, flying P-51 Mustangs. He stayed in the military after WWII, and was working in the Pentagon for the Secretary of the Air Force when the Korean War broke out. He quickly 'got up to speed in jets,' and went to Korea. He began working for Gabby Gabreski in the 51st FIW. In 1952 he was captured and Tortured by the Chinese Communists. (Century of Flight).
