Lot 820
MA-7 and MA-9 Rare Mercury Public Information Operating, Press Related Plans and Documents. MA-7, 1962, "Public Information Operating Plan" + Other Documents (8 x 11") This original, multi-page stapled internal document "presents the operating plan to implement the information program in support of the second United States manned orbital flight, designated Mercury-Atlas 7…". Also included with the lot are four different copies of "Current News" relating to the flight and an original Akron Beacon Journal clipping from May 13, 1962 regarding NASA and Press relations at the Cape for this flight. An interesting lot in the usual mixed condition. MA-9, 1963 An interesting group of about 10 different documents and copies of documents relating to press relations during the flight. They provide an entirely different viewpoint of how the flight was seen at the time and the work that went into "managing" the "clowder" of cats (there you go members of the press!) that were the news corps at the time. All fascinating documents in generally good condition. Estimate Value $300 - 500
