Apollo 13 Crew-Signed Photograph with Ken Mattingly
Official color 10 x 8 NASA lithograph of the original Apollo 13 prime crew, signed in black felt tip, "James Lovell," "Ken Mattingly," and "Fred Haise, Apollo 13." In very fine condition, with an unobtrusive faint bend at the bottom center.
Mattingly did not end up making the flight—he was replaced by Jack Swigert three days prior to launch, when it was discovered that backup LMP Charlie Duke had contracted rubella, exposing both the prime and backup crews. Mattingly, who had never caught rubella as a child, was the only crew member not immune. Uninscribed examples of this pose are quite scarce.
