Description

Impressively sized lunar orbit-flown American flag

Unusually large flown American flag carried into lunar orbit aboard the Command Module Yankee Clipper during the Apollo 12 mission, 16.5 x 11.5, signed and flight-certified in the lower right corner in black ink, “Flown to the Moon, Apollo XII, Nov. ’69, Alan L. Bean.” In fine condition. Accompanied by a handwritten and flight-certified letter of provenance from Bean, in part: “I hereby certify that the accompanying…American flag traveled to the moon with me in our command module, ‘Yankee Clipper’ during the Apollo 12 mission in November of 1969. It has been in my personal collection since that time.” A fabulous oversized example of one of the most desirable flown formats, enhanced furthermore by rock solid provenance from the fourth moonwalker. Pre-certified Zarelli Space Authentication.
