Scarce glossy 10 x 8 official NASA photo of the Wright Brothers’ first flight at Kitty Hawk, boldly signed and inscribed in blue felt tip, “To Joan Matta—With sincere good wishes, Neil Armstrong.” In very good condition, with scattered creases and a tear affecting the first letter of his signature (not significantly affecting the appearance). Under a special arrangement with the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Armstrong carried a piece of wood from the 1903 Wright Flyer’s left propellor and a swatch of muslin fabric from its left wing on the Apollo 11 mission in his PPK. A wonderful association between these important pioneers of human flight. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
