I'm looking for photos of Al Worden during the Apollo 15 mission for him to autograph but have not found any. Can someone help me? |

I'm not aware of any on board shots of Worden during the mission, I think the closest you will find is shots from his EVA. There are some really nice shots of him during training though. |

During the mission? There aren't any! His crewmates didn't take a single inflight shot of him that I can gather. There is that film still of him during the EVA. The best I have been able to do otherwise is to get stills from the TV coverage. Some are in the "Falling To Earth" book, and the best four that I could gather are linked on this page, including an inflight TV image of Al inside the Command Module. |

Thanks! I was afraid that was the case. And everyone rags Buzz for not taking pictures of Neil  Enjoying "Falling from Earth" even more the second time! |

Great to hear! And if you look at P.215-216 of Falling To Earth, you'll see Al's words on the lack of photos of him, including what -erm - angle they got of him in that one shot... |

Where did the photo come from that is on the front book cover? I don't see it in the Apollo image gallery. |

It's a training photo, Mel. Let me find a link for you. It is a great shot and would be very nice for signing. It beat out the original choice (Al's Earthrise shot) when the publisher decided what to go with. |
