The first three missions of the Apollo Program were unmanned test flights of Apollo hardware. These missions were officially named AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203. The first manned mission was named AS-204. However AS-204 met with disaster, when fire broke out during a routine ground test and all three crew members were killed. The widows of the three astronauts asked NASA to retire the mission naming convention in honor of their husbands. NASA agreed, and AS-204 was renamed Apollo 1. NASA then made the decision that further missions would begin with Apollo 4. It is my pure speculation that the names 2 and 3 were skipped in honor of the Apollo 1 crew. Since there were three astronauts killed, Apollos 1, 2, and 3 were retired in their memory. As such, the next flight was named Apollo 4, so there was no official Apollo 2.
