More than 35 years ago, Frank Abagnale was one of the world’s most famous con men, cashing $2.5 million in fraudulent checks in every state and 26 foreign countries over a five-year period. Between the ages of 16 and 21, he successfully posed as an airline pilot, an attorney, a college professor, and a pediatrician. Apprehended by the French police when he was just 21 years old, he served time in French, Swedish, and American prisons for his crimes. After five years he was released on the condition that he would help the federal government, without remuneration, by advising and assisting federal law enforcement agencies. Two items: signed paperback copy of Catch Me If You Can, signed and inscribed on the author’s page, “To the Society of Professional Journalists, F. W. Abagnale, 6/19/03”; and a Catch Me If You Can DVD, also signed and inscribed on the front cover to the same recipient. Also included is a plastic set of Pan Am flight wings actually used by Abagnale while impersonating an airline pilot and given by him to the mentioned journalist. In very fine condition. R&R COA.
