My grandfather was the commander of the 6555th wing from 1964-1967. Here’s a few gentlemen that thanked him for the ride. I’m 99.9% sure all signatures are legitimate from before we reached the moon.
M=Mercury 7. G=Gemini. A=Apollo. MM=man on moon
Neil Armstrong – MM1/A11/G8 Frank Borman – A8/G7 James Lovel – A8/13 G12/7 Gus Grissom – A1/G3/M Buzz Aldrin – MM2/A11/G12 Ed White – A1/G4 Gordon Cooper – G5/M Charles(Pete) Conrad – MM3/A12/G11/5 Dave Scott – MM7/A9/15 G8 Tom Stafford – A10/G9a/6a Wally Shirra – A7/G6a/M Michael Collin’s – A11/G10 Gene Cernan – A10/17 G9a James Mcdivitt – A10/16 G4 John Young – MM9/A10/16 G10/3 Dick(Richard) Gordon – A12/18 G11
This is every astronaut that went up on project Gemini, 3 that were in project Mercury, 15 of 16 went up on project Apollo, 5 were on the moon of which this is the first 3 that touched it.
My father recently blew my mind, and gave my son the hard hat worn by my grandfather during this time that I had never seen. It was kept in a box for decades. I need to find a good display for it now.
