X-15 Photo

These are 3 1/2 x 5 inch gelatin silver prints. The paper used is resin coated glossy. These are photo copies of a photograph that was signed by Scott Crossfield.

This photograph is similar to this color photo which appears to have been taken the same day, perhaps part of a publicity effort by North American Aviation. The size fits nicely into a #10 envelope and these may have been included in response to fan letters, etc. I remember Scott telling me that he responded to all mail even those that didn't include return postage.
