More than 700 images capture the history of the Apollo 7 mission, America's triumphant return to manned spaceflight.

The Apollo Photo Archive series comprises the most comprehensive pictorial record of America’s moon-landing program ever published.

The series continues with Apollo 7’s launch in October 1968. Crewed by Wally Schirra, Donn Eisele, and Walt Cunningham, it was the first successful Apollo space flight. Less than two years after the Apollo 1 disaster in January 1967, the success of Apollo 7 helped redirect the course of the Apollo program and, therefore, space history.

Readers will enjoy more than 700 photos, which feature the arrival and assembly of the rocket and spacecraft, crew selection and training, preflight activities, mission countdown, launch, the flight itself, splashdown, and subsequent crew appearances and related activities.[AuthorName]By J.
