James R. Hansen

“First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong is the only authorized biography of Neil Armstrong, written by James R. Hansen. First published in 2005, the book is based on over 50 hours of interviews with the intensely private astronaut, along with exclusive access to his personal documents and family sources.
It chronicles Armstrong’s life from his childhood in Ohio to his 78 combat missions in the Korean War, his career as a test pilot in the rocket-powered X-15, and the historic Apollo 11 moon landing.

This book contains a tipped-in signature and an additional photograph of Neil Armstrong.”
