Apollo 4 was a test flight of the Saturn V/Apollo spacecraft. There was no crew.
Alan Shepard and his crew was supposed to fly Apollo 13, but he got an ear infection close to the launch, so the crew of Apollo 14 were moved up a place allowing Alan Shepard to fly Apollo 14. The reason the whole crew switched was because they trained with each other and were put together to compliment each others skills.
The Apollo 1 crew consisted of Gus Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee
Apollo 4 was a test flight that did not have a crew. It launced November 9, 1967.
The lunar module (LM) on Apollo 13 was intended for landing on the moon, but it became a lifeboat for the crew after an oxygen tank explosion. The LM provided a habitable environment for the crew as they looped around the moon and returned to Earth.
The crew of Apollo 13 were James Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred . W.Haise.
Jim Lovell and his crew were bumped up from Apollo 14 to Apollo 13 after the original crew of Apollo 13 was exposed to measles. Lovell's crew was already in training and considered the backup crew, making them the natural choice to take over the mission.
