V. Gorshkov, V. Karpuschenko. From generation to generation. Leningrad, 1964.
A book about Yuri Gagarin and his genealogy. From a private library of Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin* with a dedicatory inscription from the authors.
*Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin (Russian: Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin; 18 October 1908 – 11 March 1982) was a Soviet Air Force general and a program manager in the Soviet space program.
From 1960 to 1971, General Kamanin was the program manager of the cosmonaut training in the Soviet space program. He recruited and trained the first generation of cosmonauts, including Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova, Gherman Titov and Alexei Leonov. Kamanin was the Soviet Air Force representative to the space program, a proponent of crewed orbital flight and air force influence over the Space Race. His diaries of this period, published from 1995 to 2001, are among the most important sources documenting the progress of the Soviet space program.
