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.

Later edition of Verne's classic novel. Octavo, original publisher's orange cloth decorated in gilt, tissue-guarded frontispiece, illustrated with twelve black-and-white plates inserted throughout. Boldly signed on the half-title page and facing page in black felt tip by three Apollo astronauts and two members of the support staff: "Frank Borman Apollo 8 CDR"; "Dee O'Hara Astronaut Nurse"; "Walt Cunningham Apollo 7 LMP"; "Charlie Duke Apollo 16 LMP"; "Gerry Griffin Apollo Flight Director Mission Control." Jules Verneâs From the Earth to the Moon exhibits striking parallels to the real-life Apollo program, particularly Apollo 8, the first U.S. manned mission to orbit the Moon. Like Verne's fictional launch, the actual mission was carried out by a three-man crew, launched from Floridaâ"a location chosen after the dismissal of Brownsville, Texas, much like the novelâs own geographic deliberations. Apollo 8 lifted off in December and concluded with a splashdown and recovery in the Pacific Ocean, mirroring Verneâs imaginative depiction of a lunar voyage that anticipated many of the missionâs logistical realities. In very good condition. A unique piece of aeronautical history. Jules Verne is widely held as âone of the two founding fathers of science fictionâ"the other being H.G. Wellsâ (Clute & Nicholls, 1275). Written almost a century before the flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne's prophetic novel of man's race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen. From the Earth to the Moon is âthe first interplanetary novel to focus on the technical and organizational preparations for the voyage, using the actual blast-off as a climax, introducing thereby a new narrative realism⦠And a Trip Around It continues the story by describing the experiences of the intrepid voyagers as they observe the Moon en passant before a slingshot effect hurls them earthward again. The couplet is one of the definitive foundation stones of the science fiction genreâ (Barron:II:1180).

The Pictorial History of Cape Kennedy: 1950â"1965 offers a visual and documentary account of the formative years of Americaâs space program, focusing on the evolution of Cape Canaveralâ"later renamed Cape Kennedyâ"into a central hub of aerospace innovation.

Led Zeppelin's second album, first released in 1969. Double-folding album with designs by cover artist David Juniper.

Additionally inscribed by Frank Borman on the front panel, "Not Neil Armstrong! Frank Borman Apollo 8 CDR." American aeronautical engineer and NASA astronaut Frank Borman 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. Borman's face was superimposed on the cover of the album with the members of the band because Juniper had believed he was Neil Armstrong. In fine condition. Led Zeppelin II was conceived during a busy period of Led Zeppelin's career from January through August 1969, when they completed four European and three American concert tours. The cover art for this album was developed by David Juniper, a classmate of Jimmy Pageâs from Sutton Art College in Surrey. His brilliant design for Led Zeppelin II was based on a photograph of the Jagdstaffel 11 Division of the German Air Force during World War I, the Flying Circus led by the Red Baron. Juniper replaced four of the flyersâ heads with photos of the band members and other famous people, including Frank Borman.

Staple-Bound. Zustand: Very Good. A scathing & pithy commentary on the Borman Report on the state of affairs at West Point by Colonel Russell Potter "Red" Reeder, Jr. (1902 - 1998) United States Army officer, a highly decorated veteran of W.W.II and author. The Borman Report was an investigation of the West Point system of Honor and its Code. Frank Borman was a West Point graduate who joined the Air Force and commanded the Apollo VIII and Gemini VII missions. At the time he was asked to chair this "Blue Ribbon" commission, he was the chairman of Eastern Airlines. The Academy was under scrutiny for reported abuses and scandals involving cadets. Col. Reeder, for 20 years the respected Athletic Director of the U.S.M.A., was asked to comment and his copy of the report is annotated on almost every page. There are also letters to and from Academy and Department of the Army personnel, including one where he recounts a conversation with Eisenhower about the Honor Code. Col. Reeder cites specific instances where the code and its application had been either abused or misinterpreted by less-than-caring Point administration, often resulting in unfair, foolishly judged and downright poor treatment of cadets. Throughout, Col. Reeder's approach is one of humanity and good sense and is especially potent, given that his entire life was spent within the U.S. Army under one aspect or another and his years of experience with the men and boys under his command gave him insight that would be difficult to surpass. At the front is stapled-in a note on Reeder's letterhead, stating ".There will be moans abt. this report. Some at U.S.M.A. think nothing is wrong. But in 30 years there have been two cadet honor dismissals, involving abt. 100 cadets each, plus one "Scandal" that was swept under the rug. U.S.M.A. should expect some outside changes because they were not cleaning up internally." Loosely inserted are several letters & carbon copies of letters, one from Reeder to Frank Borman, wherein Reeder tells of meeting with General of the Army Eisenhower who specifically had asked Col. Reeder about the cadets' adherence and loyalty to the Code and his concerns, Reeder noting that now more than ever is there need for paying attention to the good structure of the Academy since enrollment was nearly 4 times the size as when Eisenhower was a cadet; with a note to Col. William J. Taylor Jr. regarding the report and Taylor's grateful reply after reading it and Reeder's comments and recommendations. Evidently, Reeder had sent the annotated report to several respected colleagues as well as the commission, as there are notes that Lt. Col. Dale Hruby as well as Brig. Gen. Harvey Fraser had been in communication, list in reviewing this document (their names both on the front cover as being forwarded the report). 91 pages, with handwritten marginal notations, underlining for emphasis in red and blue and references to other internal notes and incidents by him. Stapled on the side, some edge tips wear, soiling to cover sheet and back cover, which is loose, laid-in materials with light wear and contained in the original manila envelope titled in Reeder's hand (worn with tears); overall, in very good condition; a very interesting annotated report and group of correspondence, a unique archive of material concerning the U.S.M.A. at West Point during a particularly troublesome time of upheaval and self-examination, especially as coming from the knowledgeable pen of the prominent Col. Reeder.
