Gemini Program, c1963//1991, Paul Haney's Personal Scrapbooks, This three volume set of scrapbooks, each with unattached green covers marked "Public Affairs Office / Manned Spacecraft Center / NASA / Vol. I / II / III", is a history of Haney's work as the "Voice of the Astronauts, of Space, of Gemini and of Apollo" (and beyond). Included are abou75/100 NASA 8x10" color /black and white publicity photos (mostly candid and mostly attached to the scrapbook pages), astronaut autographs (written on the scrapbook pages themselves), press clippings, telegrams, fan mail, letters of congratulations (from a variety of collegues including Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Jules Bergman, Charles von Freund, etc.) and much, much more. As is the nature of scrapbooks of this age, the condition of all books leaves a lot to be desired, but there is a lot to be appreciative of also - such as cartoon strips from Milton Caniff/"Steve Canyo" and Charles Schultz/"Peanuts", Group Achievement and other Awards, etc.
Included are astronaut autographs from John Young (GT-3), James McDivitt (blue ink, GT-4), Gordon Cooper, Charles Conrad (GT-5), James Lovell, Frank Borman (GT-7), Tom Stafford, Wally Schirra (GT-6), Neil Armstrong, Dave Scott (GT-8), Gene Cernan, Tom Stafford (GT-9A), John Young, Michael Collins (GT-10), Charles Conrad, R. F. Gordon, Jr. (GT-11), James Lovell, Buzz Aldrin (GT-12), and John Glenn (on a personal note). These are in mixed condition but generally bold and mostly clean.
An exceptional lot that provides a window behind the scenes to the Gemini Program. Viewing strongly recommended.
