"He and Gus Grissom were the only two men to fly in all three of NASA's first manned missions to space."

Yeah, that was some "flight" Gus had on Apollo 1.

Grissom was engaged in a test called Apollo 204. It was out of respect for the tragic deaths of the three astronauts that Apollo 204 was renamed Apollo 1.

But it did not fly.
