The three crew members for the Apollo-2 mission prepare to check out the couch installation on Command Module 014 at North American's Downey facility in October 1966. Left to right are astronauts Donn Eisele, Wally Schirra and Walt Cunningham. Two months later their mission was cancelled and they were named backup crew for Apollo 1.

Thanks, Ed... actually the first time I've seen the "full" version of this photo.
By any chance would you happen to have a photo of the Apollo 2 back-up crew - Borman Stafford and Collins, or the original Apollo 3 back-up crew - Conrad Gordon and Williams? Thank you!

Excellent! Thank you, Ed... I knew you'd have something.

(I guess nothing out there of Conrad, Gordon and Williams?)
