Description

Uncommon bracket-bound 8 x 10.5 commemorative booklet for the oceanic recovery of the Gemini 11 mission on September 15, 1966, presented to the crew of the recovery vessel, the USS Guam (LPH-9), an Iwo Jima-class amphibious assault ship. The booklet opens with a dedication page that reads, in part: "As a member of the Gemini Eleven Recovery Team, you helped make this possible. You took part in mankind's greatest adventure: the conquest of space." The portfolio offers a visual step-by-step narrative of the full recovery process of the Gemini 11 crew, and features an array of uncommon images and little-known splashdown information. In fine condition.
