Ex. James McDivitt
Apollo 9 Flown Largest Size American Flag Originally from the
Personal Collection of Mission Commander Jim McDivitt, Signed and
Certified, with Signed Certificate of Authenticity from Astronaut
Central. A silk 17.75" x 11.5" U.S. flag neatly signed in black
felt tip: "Flown on Apollo 9/ Jim McDivitt" on the second
and third white stripes. This was the third manned Apollo mission,
March 3-13, 1969, with crewmembers McDivitt, Dave Scott, and Rusty
Schweickart aboard. It was the first flight of the Lunar Module.
The testing accomplished during its ten days in low earth orbit
proved the LM worthy of manned spaceflight, an important step in
the race to a manned moon landing just four months later. Perfect
for display. Flattened folds. Excellent.Included with this lot is a COA from Astronaut Central signed by McDivitt, stating: "I certify that this item is from my personal collection, from my years as a NASA astronaut. It has flown in space."
