Apollo 11, 1969, "Filatelica Luna / The Moon, the Men, the Mail" Proofing Manuscript by Matthew Radnofsky - notated by. This photocopied 48pp., 8x10" manuscript recounts the story behind the covers carried to the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts. The idea, and concept, was developed by Matthew and Runice Radnofsky, NASA employees and Presidents of the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center Stamp Club. This proofing copy was sent to Apollo 11 Command Module Pilot Michael Collins to be proofed from his perspective for accuracy. He has notated it on occasion in pencil and returned it to Eunice Radnofsky with a handwritten note saying he would be happy to review the manuscript (1980) and noting his changed address in Washington, DC. He has noted the cover page: "Eunice - Looks good to me - I have pencilled in a few nitpicks. Mike". This is a very important document as it is a record of what exists as regards the covers flown to the moon on Apollo 11. You might say that the included information is 'from the horse's mouth'." Unique.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
