William “Pete” Knight – X-15 Test Pilot – Autographed 8 x 10" NASA Photograp

Description

Details:

William “Pete” Knight autographed 8 x 10" black-and-white photograph depicting the renowned X-15 test pilot standing beside the rocket-powered aircraft in his silver pressure suit, holding his helmet. Signed boldly in black felt tip marker along the right margin. Knight was one of the X-15 program’s most accomplished pilots, famously setting the world’s speed record for a winged aircraft—Mach 6.7 (4,520 mph)—on October 3, 1967, a record that still stands.

Fine Condition.

William J. “Pete” Knight (1929–2004) was an American test pilot, astronaut, engineer, and U.S. Air Force officer. As part of NASA’s X-15 program, he completed 16 missions, earning astronaut wings for exceeding 50 miles in altitude. His 1967 flight in the X-15A-2 remains a defining moment in aerospace history. Knight later served as a USAF general and California state legislator, continuing his lifelong commitment to aviation and innovation.
