Yuri Gagarin

The First Man in Space

Space Firsts

Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet pilot when he was selected for the prestigious cosmonaut training program. Little did he know that in April 1961, he would become the first man to orbit Earth. Despite having to eject from his craft in the final minutes of his flight, Gagarin returned to Earth safely, where he received a hero's welcome. The book includes never-before-published photos of Gagarin and other cosmonauts!
