摘要

Verne Orr, 14th Secretary of the Air Force, who served under Ronald Reagan, died Nov. 27, 2008 at the age of 92. Appointed as Secretary at the outset of the Reagan Administration, Orr served from February 1981 to November 1985. He implemented Reagan's campaign promise to resurrect the B-1 bomber program, while also pursuing development of the B-2 stealth bomber. He also bought the KC-10 aerial tanker, restarted production of the C-5 transport to bolster airlift, and made good on Reagan's push to expand the fighter force by building hundreds of F-15s and F-16s. The F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft program was launched during his tenure, as was the Peacekeeper missile program, known then as the MX. Orr also saw to it that the first stealth combat aircraft, the then-secret F-117, was produced. Orr insisted on competition in weapons acquisition, a stance most famously manifested in the so-called "Great Engine War," which pitted Pratt & Whitney against General Electric to build comparable fighter engines. The successful initiative drove down cost while increasing quality.
