Title

Pan Am First Moon Flights Club Membership Cards

Description

The Pan Am First Moon Flights Club Membership Cards is a small collection consisting of two faux membership cards produced by Pan Am circa 1968-1971 for the "First Moon Flights" Club. One side of the card has room for a "member" to sign and has a pre-printed signature of James Montgomery, Vice President of Sales, along with an illustration of people in spacesuits walking on the Moon. Each card is individually stamped in red with a member number; these cards are 56168 and 56169. The back of the card includes text about Pan Am's "firsts" and has an illustration of the futuristic Pan Am Space Clipper. The cards were created during the era of the Space Race with the expectation that tourists would soon be traveling to the Moon and that Pan Am would be servicing those flights.
