Desirable collection of four Apollo final flight plans, including:
- a ring-bound flight plan for Apollo 8, "AS503/CSM-103 Final Flight Plan, November 22, 1968," with extensive annotations throughout the mission timeline made in various inks, pencil, and colored pencil, offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the mission in real time; the cover is missing and several pages have creased corners.
- a staple-bound flight plan for Apollo 9, "Apollo AS504/104/LM-3, Final Flight Plan, February 3, 1969," containing a general mission summary, updated, detailed timeline, detailed test objective activities, communications plan, and consumable analysis; the cover is mission.
- a staple-bound "Final Apollo 11 Flight Plan, AS-506/CSM-107/LM-5, July 1, 1969," prepared by the Manned Spacecraft Center's Flight Planning Branch, containing general summaries and schedules, update forms, detailed timeline documenting the minute-by-mine plan for mankind's first lunar landing mission, detailed test objectives, consumables, and a flight plan summary. Annotated on the spine in black felt tip: "Apollo 11 Flight Plan."
- a staple-bound "Final Apollo 13 Flight Plan, AS-508/CSM-109/LM-7, March 16, 1970," prepared by the the Manned Spacecraft Center's Flight Planning Branch, providing general information, mission objectives, a detailed timeline, consumables analysis, abbreviated timeline, and alternate mission timelines.
In overall very good to fine condition, with wear to the Apollo 8 flight plan as noted; the Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 flight plans are in fine to very fine condition.
