Superb vintage signed "Retrospect" 1946 yearbook for Blume High School, hardcover, 8 x 10.75, 92 pages, signed amongst classmates on the rear "Autographs" page in fountain pen by Armstrong, who adds his graduation year, "Neil Armstrong, '47." Armstrong is also depicted inside as a member of the junior class. According to an ownership inscription on the first free end page, the yearbook belonged to "Barbara Chesbrough, Class of '46." In fine condition. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from Zarelli Space Authentication.
While attending Blume High, Armstrong took flying lessons on an Aeronca Champion airplane at the grassy Wapakoneta airfield. In the summer following his junior year he earned his student pilot's certificate, and flew solo for the first time that August. A remarkable early autograph from the first man to set foot on the moon.
