I'm looking for assistance it obtaining hight resolution scanned images taken of the Apollo 8 backup crew.
The two photos I would like to track down are the backup crew images taken at night in front of the Saturn V with the crew wearing the white overalls.
Photo 1 would be (L-R) Armstrong, Aldrin, and Haise standing.
Photo 2 would be the prime and backup crew all standing six wide.
I have located the photo with the prime crew standing behind the kneeling backup crew but the other two I am having difficulty locating.
Any help or direction in obtaining these images would be greatly appreciated.

I have them signed but could scan them for you as a last resort.
They will be on the NASA Website somewhere no doubt but I find it harder to navigate nowadays.

I appreciate the offer very much but unsigned would be my preference but I will take you up on the offer if nothing else comes of my inquiry.
In the NASA image gallery I can find the photo of the backup crew kneeling in front of the prime crew but not the other two.
Thank you very much.

Have you tried using the search string? Sometimes that works too.

I have tried multiple search stings and can find the image but not in a format that I can download.
Thanks again.

FYI - the "six-wide" shot does not exist. I photoshopped that version for Photo of the Week #80 many years ago.
