Description
Captain Edward V. "Eddie" Rickenbacker Signed Book: Rickenbacker An Autobiography. (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall, 1967). First Edition, first printing. Signed boldly in black ink on the free front endpaper: "To 'B. B. Roberson'/ Eddie Rickenbacker 1967". Dr. Roberson's name and address rubber stamped on the front pastedown. The first time to be offered in our Space venue. Hardbound in a dust jacket, octavo, 458 pages, illustrated. Very good.Captain Eddie Rickenbacker's autobiography carries the weight of a life lived at full throttle, America's top WWI flying ace, Medal of Honor recipient, and later a pioneering force in commercial aviation. A signed copy adds a personal dimension, linking the reader directly to one of the 20th century's most resilient and influential aviation figures. Beyond recounting dogfights and near-fatal ordeals, the book charts the evolution of modern air travel through the eyes of a man who shaped it. As a signed volume, it stands as both a historical artifact and a testament to Rickenbacker's enduring legacy.
