Joe Kittinger: Group of Five Signed and Inscribed Photos with One Signature on Card. Offered here are five silk finish 8" x 10" photos, all signed and inscribed. Also a signature on a 5" x 3" card. Kittinger, a career Air Force officer, was the first man to make a solo crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in a gas balloon. During his involvement with Project Excelsior, he made three extreme-altitude parachute jumps from helium balloons. The last and highest took place on August 16, 1960, when he jumped from 102,800 feet, free-falling for four minutes and sixteen seconds, and reaching a maximum speed of 614 mph. The entire descent lasted thirteen minutes and forty-five seconds. When Felix Baumgartner broke his record in 2012, Kittinger directed him as capsule communicator. Very fine.Auction Info
