Grouping of five vintage original NASA contact sheets, each glossy finished, 8 x 10, containing a total of 48 uncommon preflight images from the Apollo 8, 14, and 16 missions.

Reverse of four contact sheets bear purple NASA caption text. In overall fine condition, some slight creasing. From the M. Edward Thomas Collection.
