Celebrating Apollo 11 - The Artwork of Paul Calle

On July 16, 1969, one artist was asked by NASA to be with the Apollo 11 crew as they prepared for the launch to the moon. Paul Calle recorded the final moments on Earth of three brave men, before they journeyed to the moon. These on-the-spot drawings provide a glimpse into the events of that historic morning the pre-launch breakfast and the suiting up as three American heroes prepared for the adventure of a lifetime. Calle s impressions and thoughts as he quickly sketched, give a unique perspective of the events leading up to the moon landing. This book provides a fly-on-the-wall experience through the artwork of Paul Calle and his memories of that morning, forty years ago. Astronauts Bill Anders, Alan Bean, Vance Brand, Michael Collins, Gene Cernan, Walt Cunningham, and Dick Gordon lend their voices to the book.
