Description

The Apollo Photo Archive series comprises the most comprehensive pictorial record of America's moon-landing program ever published.
In January 1967, the Apollo 1 command module caught fire on the launchpad, claiming the lives of astronauts Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. Apollo 1, expected to be a triumphant first manned mission for the program, thus ended in tragedy and devastation.
With more than 500 photos, this volume includes the arrival and assembly of the rocket and spacecraft, crew selection and training, preflight activities, the launchpad fire, and subsequent investigation.
