6362   imageUnited States, 1955, Fastest Man Alive carries envelope in Bell X-2, before writing Fastest Man Alive, about his experiences as a test pilot, Frank K Everest Jr was flying rocket powered aircraft; the plane was able to reach an elevation of 126,000ft and speeds in excess of Mach 3; this envelope accompanied the pilot (he probably sat on it) on the first powered flight in 1955; the machine cancel missed the stamp but the test pilot confirms in a handwritten note (included) that the cover was indeed aboard; these covers rarely come to market and there are precious few of them; the EZ valuation from 1972 is woefully out of date, Letter from BGEN Everest confirms item flown.
