Lot 19
Armstrong, Neil & Doolittle, Jimmy. Photograph Signed by Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, and Doolittle ("J.H. Doolittle"), World War II aviation hero, 8x10", n.p. (1977). Fine. The two men are pictured in 1977 standing by the design for a commemorative medallion of the 50th anniversary of Lindberg's historic solo transatlantic flight on May 21, 1927. The two heroes were attending an event to launch a $5 million fund in honor of Lindbergh. Armstrong signed in black ink in the lower border; Doolittle signed in blue ink on the background of the Lindbergh design. The autographs were obtained in person; an inscription on the cardboard behind the photo holds a news clipping of the event and an inscription, "Jim, fly like an eagle CMB 2/5/77."
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
