Several pages of handwritten notes and charts, in pencil, one dated at the top October 26, 1955. These notes were written by Slayton while he was a student pilot and engineer at the USAF Experimental Flight Test School at Edwards Air Force Base in California during a series of performance test flights and stability and control class studies. On one page Slayton has drawn two graphs as well as several mathematical formulas. Another page is a 16 x 11 Flight Data Sheet, dated September 2, for a “Cooling Sawtooth” test filled in by Slayton. In fine condition, with a light central vertical fold and some mild toning. Accompanied by a printed letter of authenticity from Ken Havekotte.
