The scan of the cover shown here was sent to us by Luc Jallot of France.  This cover is the harder to find of the Apollo 13 B838 covers.

Some interesting covers for the US space program comes from Europe.

 

 


The scan of the cover shown above was sent to us by Steve Durst.  Steve writes: "The Beck first day cover is not especially difficult, but try finding it with
authentic autographs of the 9 astronauts who flew on the 3 manned Skylab flights  and all of them autographing one cover!"


ABOVE: A thanks goes to Steve Durst for sending us this cover to put on the site.  This is a great cover and probably one of a kind with all the autographs it has.  Autographs are: Dave Scott, Al Worden, and Jim Irwin; NASA CapCom Dick Gordon; Recovery Pilot, Ship's CO and XO, and CTF-130 RADM Tom Hayward
