THE EDITOR — Yuri Gagarin : First Pilot Cosmonaut

Soviet Union. 1961. Soft Cover, 11 x 8.25 inches. This is a folded illustrated leaflet produced by official Soviet Union media. No marks or inscriptions. A little very faint creasing to upper/lower edges . A very clean bright unmarked leaflet and no bumping to corners. pp. An 11 x 8 inch leaflet opens up to 11 x 41 inches double sided. It is a celebration propaganda leaflet clearly from Soviet Union media (published unidentified). Describes the Soviet success in acheiving space flight with Sputnik and with particluar reference to the first manned space flight which was carried out by Yuri Gagarin. To quote 'It is not by chance that the Soviet Union - the first country of socialism - was first in the world to launch artificial satellites and the first to accomplish a manned flight in outer space.' A fascinating document for anyone interested in early space flight. Very scarce. We do not use stock photos, the picture displayed is of the actual book for sale. Every one of our books is in stock in the UK ready for immediate delivery. Very Good.
