Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin (front left) shakes hand with NASA’s Gemini 4 astronauts, Edward H. White II (middle, facing camera) and James A. McDivitt (right front) at the Paris Air Show in June 1965. This meeting between Gagarin and the Gemini 4 astronauts occurred shortly after the completion of the Gemini 4 mission, where White performed the first American EVA. Yuri Gagarin achieved fame as the first human to orbit Earth. Also shown in the picture (seated between Gagarin and White) are Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and (standing between White and Grissom) French Premier Georges Pompidou. -- source link
