Description :

APOLLO 15 MOON BOOK -  USS Okinawa LPH3 Primary Recovery Ship. Hardcover. 1972, Allen Publishing Co. (Anaheim, CA). 104 pages.

Very hard to find book featuring the crew of the USS Okinawa - formal and informal documentation about the task of recovering the lunar module and getting the crew safely out and home. Lots of candid pictures and intimate details about this seldom seen part of the lunar missions. This is in addition to official photos and info from the mission. Feels very "personal" with writing from commanders and on-ship photographs of the astronauts you won't see elsewhere. 

We think it is in good used condition with some use (hand-written price on front flyleaf & front cover has some bumpy spots), but see photos to judge condition for yourself.
