Gemini Program, 1965-66, NASA-Bound Gemini "Fact Sheets" (Nos. 291, A-I). This hard-bound NASA publication has no ID number, but was undoubtedly issued mainly for insiders. The Fact Sheets cover each of the Gemini flights with full illustrations. This bound copy is inscribed on the first inside page: "Deacon - This will help fill those book shelves in your den - Appreciate your help and understanding throughout this project (signed) Paul Haney, 2/13/67". Those of you who follow our sales will remember that Paul Haney was the "Voice of NASA" during the Gemini and early Apollo Programs and that we sold the Paul Haney Estate collection in our last sale. The book is in excellent condition and was obviously appreciated as Deke (Deacon ?), who saved it for the past 40 odd years. ALSO included are two Mexican Hunting Licenses and a Mexican Gun Permit issued to Deke. Each is dated 1967 or 1968. A nice lot.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
Ex. the astronaut Donald K. "Deke" Slayton Family collection.
