Description

"I was fortunate enough to be the flight director for the first lunar landing and also for Apollo 13"

TLS signed “Eugene F. Kranz,” one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA letterhead, August 29, 1977. Letter to John F. Meek, in part: "The badge I sent you was worn by me during the Apollo 14 mission. I was not the prime flight director on the mission; however, my division chief responsibilities placed me in charge of all flight directors for all missions. My division responsibilities allowed me to participate as flight director on all odd (i.e., 1, 3, 5, etc.) Apollo missions. I was fortunate enough to be the flight director for the first lunar landing and also for Apollo 13." In fine condition. A superb letter from Kranz, whose tough, no nonsense attitude made him one of NASA's great flight directors.
