Gherman Stephanovich Titov was a Soviet cosmonaut who, on 6 August 1961, became the second human to orbit the Earth, aboard Vostok 2, preceded by Yuri Gagarin on Vostok 1. He was the fourth person in space, counting suborbital voyages of US astronauts Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom. "I Am Eagle!" is the story of Gherman Titov, of his journey, of his life, his family and the many things that related to this telling. His story was researched within the Soviet Union by Wilfred Burchett and Anthony Purdy. It is the first inside, behind-the-scenes, intimate and authentic look within the Russian-mounted space program. From beginning to end this is the story that has never been told before. Each source and statement has been carefully checked by top engineers in the United States' own missile and space field. Martin Caidin was the nations' most outstanding and prolific writer in the field of flight and astronautics having written more than thirty-two books in the field. [all from the dust jacket].…

Rare Soviet postcard featuring a colorized portrait of Yuri Gagarin to the right and Gherman Titov to the left wearing their military uniforms without caps while looking at a newspaper. Boldly signed by cosmonauts Gagarin and Titov beside their respective images. Additionally inscribed by Gagarin in Cyrillic along the upper margin, translated it reads, "To Nikolai Petrovich with big gratitude." The recipient, Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin (1908-1982), was a Soviet Air Force general and a programme manager in the Soviet space programme, 1960-1971. He retired after a fatal accident with the Soyuz 11 mission, where the crew was killed by decompression on their landing run. In fine condition. On an aperture mount with name title plaques for the two cosmonauts and a printed biographical note about the message and recipient centered below. The postcard was issued 16 September 1961. The entire piece measures 8 inches by 10 inches. Yuri Gagarin (1934â"1968) was a Soviet cosmonaut whose flight aboard Vostok 1 on 12 April 1961 marked the first time a human entered orbital space, completing one orbit of Earth in a mission lasting 108 minutes. The achievement carried significance beyond engineering, functioning as a highly visible demonstration of Soviet technological capacity during the Cold War and helping to define spaceflight as a domain of ideological competition as well as scientific ambition. Notably, Vostok 1âs descent was largely automated, and Gagarin landed by parachute after ejecting from the capsule, underscoring both the experimental character and calculated risk of early human spaceflight. In the years that followed, Gagarin became an international symbol of Soviet modernity, although his career was cut short when he died in a MiG-15UTI training crash on 27 March 1968.…
