Author Robert Dorr dies

Robert F. Dorr

Robert F. Dorr, a prolific book author and military columnist who wrote about his passion for aviation, died June 12 after a long battle with brain cancer.
An Air Force veteran, Bob was a strong supporter of the Museum and was a regular lecturer at the Monday Speaker Series, where he invariably had a new book to describe. He submitted the last of his hundreds of magazine articles only weeks before his death.
Bob generously donated much of his aviation research collection to the Museum's archives and word quickly spread worldwide that his life's work was available to researchers. His collection is open, by appointment.
