Astronaut (1930–1967) who was the first American to walk in space and who died in the flash fire that killed the entire Apollo 1 crew. Rare glossy 8 x 10 NASA photo of a beaming White in his flight suit shortly before his launch aboard Gemini IV where he would be the first American to walk in space, signed and inscribed in blue felt tip to NASA’s chef Lewis Hartzell, “To Lou—Edward H. White II.” In fine condition, with some scattered light silvering to the lower portion of the image and edges, and a few creases and surface impressions, not detracting from overall appearance.
