Circa 1966/67 North American Aviation (NAA) artist’s concept of the Saturn V launch vehicle on the pad. I think by Gary Meyer. Per Mr. Meyer’s website, he worked/did work for NAA 1961-63. He created this magnificent work during that time. That is, an earlier version of it. That image, amongst others, was featured in NAA’s ca. 1963 film, “The Apollo Mission”.
My date estimation is based on the paint scheme of the vehicle, which is basically that of AS-500F, in addition to the more representative LUT configuration. So, if I’m correct on the date - which I think I am - does it mean this is not Mr. Meyer’s work? Did another artist subsequently modify/update his original version? Or did he, in a freelance ‘post-1963’ capacity? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
