Best Answer

Commander: Gus Grissom, a member of the Original 7 astronauts and the second American in space. Grissom also flew on the first Gemini mission. Had he not died, Grissom was in line to become the first man to walk on the moon.

Senior Pilot: Ed White, the first American to walk in space.

Pilot: Roger Chaffee. Apollo 1 was to be Chaffee's first space flight. Before becoming an astronaut, Chaffee was one of the pilots who flew reconnaissance over Cuba in the days before and during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Some say Chaffee took the photos that Kennedy showed to the world during his TV broadcast when he made the crisis public.
