Dr Smith was the successful
bidder on this possibly
unique Apollo cover.
The
cover is addressed to W R Skelley, Jr.
Over the past several years, we have seen many Beck
covers
addressed to W R Skelley, Jr.
Skelley was a US Navy PIO or Postal Clerk during the
1960's space
recoveries.
He managed to get a hold of a lot of the Beck
covers and
addressed them to himself.
This means he likely had access to some
of the covers sent to
the US Navy for the
recovery ships by Mr. Beck.

The above cover is probably
one-of-a-kind.
USS Boxer was suppose to
be
the prime recovery ship. Added 12/2009
After all these years of searching
for
Beck covers we are
VERY surprised
to see a GTA-8 Beck cover from the
USS Leonard F
Mason other than B630.
Note the address is
hand written.
Our
guess, (only a guess) is that a
Navy
Postal Clerk got a hold of the printed
covers sent by
Beck and
addressed this
to a family member. This is
probably one
of a kind!
This is the only B629 observed that is other than the
USS
Cochrane. |

This cover is probably unique
and was
postmarked two days
after the
recovery.
Evidently, the Honolulu PO
noticed that the cover was not
postmarked
on the USS

applied the
Honolulu machine cancel.
This is only
speculation.

Scan courtesy of Joe Volutza. Covers is postmarked just after
the space flight in Chicago.
Who knows why these are postmarked in Chicago AFTER the flight. The
logical conclusion
is that the ship didn't get the covers postmarked on the ship and the
Chicago post office
cancelled the covers before delivering them. Note that the GT-5 cover
is addressed to a
customer living in Chicago. B652 was scheduled for USS R L Wilson.
