This book was purchased from an Estate of a retired aviation employee, the original owner to whom the book is dedicated. He probably knew or met Mr Rickenbacker, therefore we believe the signature is authentic. The ink signature compares to the printed reproduction, considering Mr Rickenbacker's age in the 1950s when the book was originally acquired. Description text copyright 2007 BooksForComfort.
