Why does it jump from Apollo 1 to Apollo 7?

Apollo 7 was the first manned mission. Apollos 4 and 6 were unmanned tests of the large Saturn V moon rocket. Apollo 5 was an unmanned test of the first Apollo Lunar Module on a smaller Saturn IB rocket; it carried no command and service module. Two unmanned tests of a smaller Saturn launch vehicle, the Saturn I, are sometimes known as Apollo 2 and 3. The name "Apollo 1" was given to the crew of Grissom, White and Chaffee for the flight that they never got to fly because of the launch pad fire that killed them in January 1967.
