• Lot Description
  David K. Stone (American, 1922 - 2001) "Major General William A. Anders, USAF" Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Masonite.
  
  Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
  
  This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood William A. Anders Commemorative Cover postmarked September 22, 1990.
  
  William Anders was born October 17, 1933, in Hong Kong, the son of a U.S. Navy officer. After attending school in San Diego County, California, he followed in his father's footsteps and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1955 with a degree in electrical engineering. From there, Anders entered pilot training in the U.S. Air Force, earned a Master's Degree in nuclear engineering and completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard University. NASA then selected Anders for the Apollo program in 1963. On December 21, 1968, astronauts Anders, Frank Borman and James Lovell became the first men to escape the Earth's gravity and orbit the moon aboard the Apollo 8 spacecraft. This mission brought to Earth its first close-up view of the lunar surface, the moon's far side and, perhaps most importantly, paved the way for man's first footsteps on the moon. Less than a year after this momentous mission, Anders served as back-up pilot for Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing. He later left NASA to serve in a number of prestigious positions in both the public and private sectors.
