Description

Gordon Cooper Signed Silver Spacesuit Color Photo with "Best Pilot" Added Comments. An 8" x 10" silk finish photo on Kodak Professional paper, a dramatic pose of him wearing his helmet, posed with the U.S. flag and a Mercury capsule model, with smoke in the foreground. The photo is inscribed with a great quote from Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff. Cooper writes in black felt tip: "Who is the best pilot you ever saw? You're looking at him!/ Gordon Cooper/ Faith 7". Extremely desirable as signed. Excellent.
