Just now uploaded a bunch of stuff to eBay — cover centric this time but not all. Highlights include: - A "2nd tier Holy Grail" of the X-15 program, a photo sheet signed by the first and last X-15 pilots, two record setters and the drop pilots who set up the launch profiles. Also Crossfield's back up Al White. Only one guy left of these signers.
- Mercury 13 signed logo sheet
- MOL signed cover
- Bell X-1 signed cover with 10 signatures!!! Only one guy left out of this bunch.
- Flown first flight covers including a very hard to find X-24B flown and signed cover.
- And of the first flight covers, while not space it is notably a very poignant one. This is an F-5B first flight cover signed by the first flight pilot Hank Chouteau (deceased). But what makes it so, is its also signed by Northrop test pilot Don Papish. A rare signature in his own right because, he was killed in an F-5B in 1966 demonstrating it to the Spanish Air Force.
As always, thanks for looking! eBay seller mrbatron if the link doesn't work. |

Some folks have brought to my attention the X-15 piece is too low res to read the printing on the X-15 piece. I rescanned it at a higher res if anyone is interested. It's much more readable now. Just hold the cursor over the image. Thanks! | |
