Gemini Titan 5, 1965, FLOWN Religious Flag. This unusual white flag (8x12") has a smaller deep blue flag (4x6") flag sewn on at upper left. The blue flag has a red cross similarly sewn on (3x2.5"). We cannot determine what this flag symbolizes but it was obviously meaningful to Cooper as he has notated the flag at the lower right: "This flag was flown on Gemini 5 August 21-29, 1965 / Gordon Cooper". One horizontal and vertical fold from having been carried in his PPK does not detract. Striking and unusual.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
Ex. the astronaut LeRoy Gordon "Gordo" Cooper Estate collection.
