Description

Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 flag of Indiana—home to the moonwalker's alma mater

Flag of the state of Indiana attested as flown on the historic Apollo 11 moon landing mission by the family of Neil Armstrong, 6.25 x 4, encapsulated by CAG as being from The Armstrong Family Collection. The flag features a golden torch surrounded by stars, with "Indiana" above, against a solid navy blue field. In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from The Armstrong Family Collection, signed by Armstrong's sons, Rick and Mark.

Neil Armstrong had strong ties to Indiana through his education at Purdue University in West Lafayette, where he earned a degree in aeronautical engineering in 1955. Purdue later honored him as one of its most distinguished alumni, dedicating the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering in 2007; his personal archives also reside in the university's library.

Provenance: Heritage Auctions, The Armstrong Family Collection, May 2019.


The Richard Jurek Collection.
