a_v_c_o_AKP (ca. 1962/63, montage, unnumbered NAA photo)

I never thought I’d come across this striking image as an original/vintage “A KODAK PAPER” print…so I’m pretty stoked. By Gary Meyer, on behalf of/for North American Aviation.

This is readily familiar & identifiable (by some…a few actually…maybe) as the cover image of “SATURN/APOLLO: LUNAR LANDING PROGRAM”, North American Rockwell, Pub 3540-C, Rev 1-69. Although the publication is ca. 1968/1969, the image…that of a Saturn C-5/”Advanced Saturn” and the space suit…which to me looks like the SPD-143 training suit, puts this as having been created by Mr. Meyer ca. 1962/63.

 

Whenever it was, it’s awesome.
