Here we offer a selection of books, handsigned by famous pilots and astronauts. It's worth recalling that some of
these legends have already left the Earth permanently, while many of the others charge £100+ for an autograph.

We have several hand-signed copies of this truly
fascinating hard-back. John Glenn was the first
American to orbit the Earth in 1962, but was then
not allowed to take part in further missions because
of his iconic status. Following a 25-year career as a
Senator, in 1998 Col Glenn finally flew into space a
second time aboard 'Discovery'.

for further missions: he went on to achieve success
in the field of marine research.
