Major Cecil W. Powell accelerated away from an NB-52 on his third and final flight in the Martin Marietta X-24A lifting body. On this powered flight on 12 May 1971, Powell took the X-24A to 70,947 feet and Mach 1.389. He experienced a momentary delay after hitting the launch toggle switch; as a result, the chase planes got out of position and lost him in the clouds. Powell later made four flights in the Northrop M2-F3 lifting body, validating use of a lifting body to transition from hypersonic re-entry flight to landing. His work was a vital step in paving the way for today's Space Shuttle landings.

The autograph(s) has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA for authenticity purposes.
