The bottom of this page http://www.astronautix.com/engines/f1.htm says

first launch was the Saturn V with Apollo 4, right?

Sounds right to me.


To clarify; I was in agreement with the poster Jan Philips, not the
Astronautix article.

OTOH it's far more informative when I'm presumed wrong and am corrected.
So for the sake of this thread pretend I'm in agreement with the
Astronautix article instead. :-)
