About the Book

The most complete pictorial record of the Apollo 1 tragedy.

Book Synopsis

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.

Review Quotes

ldquo;This book is the definitive photographic chronicle of one of the most pivotal events in NASA's history, when the three Apollo 1 astronauts made the ultimate sacrifice in the 1960s race to the Moon. It will be invaluable to historians and space fans alike."--Andrew Chaikin, author of "A Man on the Moon: The Voyages of the Apollo Astronauts"
