Our client had a life many only dream of – he was a Phantom fighter pilot in the US Air Force and later worked on NASA projects. He was also a savvy collector of all things space or flight-related. We are proud to present an interesting array of items he acquired during his many years of involvement in aerospace. His keen eye for high-quality & unique items is readily obvious in this auction.
