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.
