Desirable FDC with a cachet honoring the 50th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's solo transatlantic flight, signed in black ink or felt tip by five notable test pilots and engineers: Chuck Yeager, Fred Ascani, Bob Hoover, Bob Cardenas, and Gerald M. Truszynski, whose signature remains quite rare. In fine condition.
Truszynski joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, a forerunner of NASA, in 1944, and three years later transferred to Edwards Air Force Base in California, where he helped design instrumentation for the X-1, the aircraft in which pilot Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in 1947. Truszynski later supervised the development of instrumentation for various experimental aircraft before coming to NASA’s Washington headquarters in 1961 as an associate administrator. He developed global tracking networks and communication systems for all of NASA’s flight programs.
