A. Mollison,” on a peach-colored 3.5 x 3.5 slip; a vintage 6.5 x 9.75 book photo removed from The People's War Book, published in 1920, signed in fountain pen, “W. A. Bishop”; and a commemorative cover with a cachet honoring the around-the-world flight of the Voyager, postmarked at Edwards AFB with the launch and return dates, signed in black ink, “Dick Rutan” and “Jeana Yeager.” In overall fine condition, with trivial creasing, and a trimmed right edge and a few small tears to edges of the book photo.
