Project Apollo FDC

Not all of the Apollo covers shown below would be considered "First Day of Issue"
for the NASA Local. The "Non-First Day of Issue" covers were created to document a
major milestone in the mission.

Covers for Apollo 7 and 8 have a rubber-stamped cachet, while those of Apollo 9
and later have printed cachets.
