About this title

Synopsis

Love at First Flight: Adventures, Exploits, Sacrifices, Risks and Rewards―a memoir written by two outstanding Americans: a courageous naval pilot, Bud Orr, whose career spanned 27 years and his loving wife, Fran.

Love at First Flight is a powerful reminder about the real sacrifices that men and women in the Armed Services must make to preserve a relationship, and the incredible rewards that come with that sacrifice.

Like a catapult launch off an aircraft carrier, Bud and Fran's story will propel readers through recent history―from the Vietnam War to current day America. A tender, moving and inspiring volume, Love at First Flight is the perfect gift for any military member, military family or military historian.

About the Author

Captain William “Bud” Orr spent twenty-seven years in the US Navy, flew combat in Vietnam, amassed more than 1000 carrier landings, and flew numerous aircraft including the AV-8A Harrier, F-14, FA-18, and B-1 Bomber. After retirement, he spent more than twenty years managing several aerospace and defense Washington government affairs offices. His co-author and wife of thirty-seven years, Fran Orr, was described by Senator John Warner as the “good Navy wife.” She was a partner in an exclusive boutique in Virginia Beach and has a successful real estate career. She is also a published author of children’s books. Bud and Fran are completing Fran’s memoir, Dusty Memories, the story of Fran’s pilgrimage as a child of the dust bowl, born into poverty and deprivation.
