^Lot 391 Apollo 13

Flown printed fabric American flag, 6 x 4, flown aboard Apollo 13 during its nearly fatal flight to the moon and dramatic return to Earth. Flag is affixed by its corners to a 10 x 12 certificate stating “This flag was on board Apollo XIII during its flight and emergency return to Earth,” and the certificate is signed in black felt tip by crew members James Lovell and Fred Haise, and also bears a pre-printed signature of Jack Swigert. In fine condition, with a light block of toning to each corner of the flag from adhesive on reverse. A prized relic from Apollo’s most harrowing mission.
