I think this is a mistake and that the photo is actually mirrored.
I agree with the assessment above, of the photograph on page 225 of "Apollo 8 in Photographs." A former Lead of the Shuttle Final Inspection Team provided confirmation. |

Has anyone received their copy of the Apollo 9 book yet? I pre-ordered through Amazon earlier this year and got a message on Monday that my delivery was delayed. No explanation was given. |

I finally received my copy of the Apollo 9 volume. It is OUTSTANDING! I followed the development of the lunar module the best I could in those pre-internet days and thought I had seen most images of early LM configurations. Chapter 3 of this book proved me wrong.Being sandwiched between lunar missions made me believe that Apollo 9 was a "meh" mission. I now realize how wrong I was. Cannot wait for the Apollo 10 volume. |

Apollo 10 in Photographs: The Apollo Photo Archive
by J.L. Pickering and John Bisney with Ed Hengeveld The Apollo Photo Archive series comprises the most comprehensive pictorial record of America's moon-landing program ever published.This fifth volume covers Apollo 10, which occurred in May 1969. The crew of Apollo 10, Tom Stafford, Gene Cernan, and John Young, all were veterans of prior spaceflights. On this mission, they repeated many of the same tests involving the lunar module that were carried out by the crew of Apollo 9, but this time while orbiting the moon. Apollo 10 proved that the hardware worked within the lunar gravitational field. The 12-volume Apollo Photo Archive features images of spacecraft and rocket assembly; crew background and training; the countdown, launch, mission, and splashdown; and subsequent crew appearances and activities. This volume, "Apollo 10 in Photos," includes more than 800 images, of which many pre- and postflight photos have never been published.  |
