Frank Frederick Borman II (March 14, 1928 - November 7, 2023) was an American United States Air Force (USAF) colonel, aeronautical engineer, NASA astronaut, test pilot, and businessman. He was the commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to fly around the Moon, and together with crewmates Jim Lovell and William Anders, became the first of 24 humans to do so, for which he was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. He owned and rebuilt a rare World War II single-engine fighter, the Bell P-63 Kingcobra. It won the prestigious Grand Champion Warbird award when exhibited at Oshkosh in 1998. As an astronaut, Frank Borman flew on two of NASA's riskiest missions--Gemini 7 (the first manned-spacecraft rendezvous in orbit) and Apollo 8 (the first manned voyage around the moon). Frank Frederick Borman II (born March 14, 1928), (Col, USAF, Ret.), is a retired United States Air Force pilot, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut, best remembered as the Commander of Apollo 8, the first mission to fly around the Moon, making him, along with crew mates Jim Lovell and Bill Anders, the first of only 24 humans to do so. Before flying on Apollo, he set a fourteen-day spaceflight endurance record on Gemini 7, and also served on the NASA review board which investigated the Apollo 1 fire. After leaving NASA, he was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Eastern Air Lines from 1975 to 1986. Borman is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. He is currently the oldest living former American astronaut, just eleven days older than fellow astronaut Jim Lovell. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: The exciting account included here of Borman's NASA years (he took part in the Gemini 7 and Apollo 8 spaceflights, and also served as a troubleshooter and project manager). In 1970, Borman went to work for Eastern Airlines, a company ``riddled with inept management and uncaring unions,'' to eventually take over as president and CEO. His most difficult task: cutting labor costs. The book describes Eastern's prolonged, bitter struggle to remain independent, a management/labor fight Borman lost in 1986 when Eastern became part of Texas Air. The most impressive section of this highly readable autobiography, coauthored with novelist Sterling, is the depiction of Borman's confrontations with intransigent labor leaders and the dynamics of their negotiations. Also memorable is the tribute to Susan Borman's poignant struggle to be ``the Perfect Wife married to the Perfect Husband who was the Perfect Astronaut in a Perfect American Family raising Perfect Children.'' Borman became an aviation consultant. Collector's Edition, Number 1103 of 3000.…

Among the signers are four more moonwalkers, Alan Bean of Apollo 12, Charles Duke of Apollo 16, and Edgar Mitchell of Apollo 14, together with Frank Borman and James Lovell of Apollo 8, the first crew to orbit the Moon, and Lovell again as commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13. Wally Schirra remains the only astronaut to have flown in all three of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. Together their signatures gather the living memory of the first age of human spaceflight into a single volume.…
