Description
NASA Manned Flight Awareness Posters: Set of Seven Original Philco-Ford Mission Control Center, One for Each Mission, Apollo 11- Apollo 17. Each poster is on 17" x 22" cardstock with the "Philco Ford MCC Target-Perfection" logo at bottom. It was Philco-Ford that designed the familiar consoles in Mission Control. All very fine to excellent with minor roughness at mid-right edge, other flaws noted, as follows.Apollo 11: "I believe this nation should commit itself..." quote from JFK beneath the familiar American flag draped over the moon graphic. Corners bumped, crease at upper right.
Apollo 12: "Encore" with images of the crew. Upper left corner toned.
Apollo 13: "Men from the planet earth will again set foot upon the moon..." against a detailed moonscape. Mattingly's name in the crew listing.
Apollo 14: "The great aim of culture..." against a stark black, red, & white geometric design.
Apollo 15: "Over the mountains to the edge of Hadley rille..." with tire track and LRV graphics.
Apollo 16: "Not to be taken for granted..." with large original graphic.
Apollo 17: "The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to..." Red, white, & blue graphics.
This is the first set of these we have seen. NASA used the design of the Apollo 11 poster for their own MFA poster.
