a_v_bw_o_n (ca. 1967 original NAA news photo, no. P-34, 66-H-799 eq)

Striking artist's concept of an Apollo Command Module splashing down, with recovery helicopters moving in. Note also, the cut risers, pulling away from the spacecraft.

 

The verso bears the same numbering format, “P-XX”, of the illustrations in this latter North American Rockwell news/press publication, with this very photo labeled as P-40:

The parent site to the above is impressive:

As an aside, I do believe Mr. Scott used this photo (far left panel) of mine in his splash page:

And finally, EXCELLENT reading, as ALWAYS, by Mr. Roger Launius (truly a gentleman and a scholar), pertaining to the event depicted, and leading up to it:

Although I’ve been informed (by a reputable source) that this is by Henry Lozano, I still kind of think it’s by Gary Meyer. Actually, who cares, it’s outstanding.
