I’m looking for help in locating NAA employees who worked CCL, CCC, CCR, (Crew Couch) positions inside Apollo 1 either in Downey or at the Cape. I worked for NAA in 1996/97 and in response to Gus Grissom’s personal request I followed the 204 craft to the Cape to continue my work in these crew couch test positions during prelaunch checkout (more like debug).>>

After 44 years I’ve started to write, for my family and friends, about my experiences during the time I spent inside Apollo 1.

Off to Mammoth lakes. I'll be disconected for a week.

I worked on the Navaho at Hangar E on the Cape from Nov, 1955 through Dec of 1958. Most of the guys that went back to Downey have probably passed on. I'm now 79 and I was just a kid. You may have met my brother, Brady Wilson?

Cautious, I'll take a look around to see if I can find documentation for you. Give me a bit of time though please. :-)
