American pilot and physicist (1921–1966) who reached the edge of outer space on two separate X-15 aircraft flights in 1963; he tragically passed away when his F-104 Starfighter crashed during a publicity photo shoot. Rare official glossy 8 x 10.5 NASA photo of Walker in full flight gear next to his X-15 aircraft, signed in black ink. Toned tape remnants to corners, trivial creasing, and some surface loss to lower left corner, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified Zarelli Space Authentication.
