1942-1963, Deke Slayton's Army & Air Force Military Records. This would appear to be Deke's copies of his military records from when he enlisted as a student in the Army until when he transfered from the USAF and was assigned to NASA. There are probably several hundred pages involved. Some of the latter records include mention of some of the other Mercury 7 astronauts. Many of the documents contain original signatures by Slayton and others (military brass). A fascinating look at his transfers, promotions, leaves, special orders and training over the years. Mixed condition, but unique.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
Ex. the Donald "Deke" Slayton Estate collection.
