Negative, my collection does not contain too many American books, mainly English, German and Russian (not that I speak or read the latter, but collect them all the same). Oh yes, and at least one French book - MiG - by Belyakov and Marmain, signed by both, to which Jacques Marmain added 'with my best sentiments aMiGaux'. Sad that he has departed, he was a brilliant journalist with a great sense of humour.
One book in German I am happy to have is 'Mit einem Menschen an Bord' by Mark Gallai, translated out of the Russian and signed by him in August '97. I had met him previously at Zhukovsky in 1995 in the company of Mrs. Gromova, wife of another famous test pilot for which the flight test centre is named. It's about Gallai's involvement in the Russian space program, whereas an earlier book dealt with his career as a test pilot. He was, for example, one of the three pilots assigned to fly the Tu-4, Russia's copy of the B-29.
Happy Holidays!
