Apollo Soyuz, Misc, Fed. Aero. Int. Diplome de Record (framed to 14x11") This Federation Aeronautique Internationale "Diploma de Record" is the official recognition of the flight of Apollo-Soyuz as being the "The absolute world endurance record for a group of 46 hours, 46 minutes and 44 seconds"(while the spacecrafts were separated, but both were in orbit together). The F. A. I. is the international body recognized by all countries that certifies each and every record breaking aviation and space flight. The flight didn't happen unless they certify that it met the requirements as having taken place. This certificate bears the names of Stafford, Brand, Slayton, Leonov and Kubasov and they each undoubtedly have a copy for their records. A rare document and a must for any student of space and the ASTP flight in particular.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
