Little Joe 1B


Above: This is from "Above and Beyond" and clearly shows the lettering is on one line, but it is not clear if is is curved (like the very similar LJ-6) or straight. Note that the rocket fin closest to the camera appears to be entirely orange.

Above: This is from an old issue of National Geographic. Again, it clearly shows the lettering is on one line, but it is not clear if is is curved or straight. Frankly, it looks more straight than curved. And is the closest fin all orange? If so, I also think this is the opposite side of the rocket from the other photo, above (note position relative to launch umbilical tower). So that suggests two opposite fins were all orange. Or maybe not.
