Miscellaneous
- Gamow was an imposing figure at six feet, three inches (190.5 cm) and over 225 pounds (102 kg) but possessed an impish sense of humor.
- He was highly regarded in the Soviet Union, and was awarded the rank of General in the Army, a fact which raised eyebrows in the paperwork for his U.S. security clearances during the Cold War.
