Having to slim down my collection so here are a few starters:"Apollo: The Epic Journey to the Moon," signed by Bill Anders and wife Valerie in black ballpoint. Dated in another hand. One inch tear to bottom right corner of cover, otherwise excellent. SOLD.
  "Pictorial Guide to the Moon," signed by Ron Evans (uninscribed) in fine black sharpie, at the 1975 SETP meeting. $275.   |

And the piece de resistance: NAHF Enshrinee Album 1984 signed by an outstanding collection of test pilots and astronauts: - Bob Hoover
- Pete Knight
- Bob Rushworth
- John Young
- Scott Crossfield, and....
- Neil Armstrong
Also enclosed is the 1988 enshrinee brochure, showing Hoover, Young and Knight being enshrined - presumably where this was signed as Armstrong was a presenter. Some have jokingly inscribed to Clyde "Bad", aka B. Gen Clyde Good, a well-known test pilot. Cover a little dog-eared but no tears. Irreplaceable signatures. SOLD.    |

Great stuff. Wright Pat/Edwards test pilot Clyde "No" Good was a super great guy. Flew the final flight of the F-107 to the AF Museum at Wright Pat. He's been in my house several times along with Bud Evans, Paul Chell and Al Crews. They all hung out together. SUPER nice guy. If this was Clyde's book (and it appears to be), that lends authenticity as he flew with all of those guys. Wow. VERY nice piece(s). |
