Budd Andrews
Second Lt. Budd Harris Andrews – Pilot and Hero
Morris Field staff trained many pilots who did heroic things all over the world, but probably no one did anything more heroic in Charlotte than 24 year old Second Lt. Budd Andrews.
April 2, 1945 was a quiet day in Charlotte. It was “ Easter Monday,” a holiday commonly celebrated then in North Carolina. Most Charlotteans were at home enjoying the beautiful spring day.
