Apollo 11: 58 Select 70mm Glass Slides From Dick Underwood's Collection Specific to the First Moon Landing (1927-2011) Richard "Dick" Underwood was chief engineer on the production of the first topographic maps of the moon. He was the first person to view every photograph from the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz and the first 23 space shuttle missions. He also provided technical training to every astronaut who went into space in the twentieth century. While the collections offered of Dick Underwood's glass slides in auction contain images from the entire history of his time at NASA including Apollo 11, however this collection was set aside specific to the first moon landing for some purpose. There are 58 glass slides, one a visual explaining the mission's objective to splashdown recovery. Spectacular images of the LM on its way to the surface of the moon, 28 slides of the lunar surface, tests on the moon, four wonderful views of Earth and even a few of the crew including a great image of Buzz Aldrin. LOA from Underwood family. Estimated Value $600 - UP
