N.B. The American flag heralds the flight of Apollo 11, man's first lunar landing mission. This double exposure was made with a 1000mm lens when the rocket was at an altitude of about 5,000 feet. A band of super cold propellants seems to circle the rocket near its center. The image was superimposed upon the image of the flag, captured one day earlier.
Estimate $400-600
