Default Did Apollo do a burn prior to re-entry?

I've never seen a drawing of it, but I once ran into a mention of a
Rogallo wing equipped Apollo.


Would not be surprised as Rogallo wings were the original idea
for Gemini. My guess is that you are talking about a later
block of Apollo capsule. Maybe a design concept from about 1967-69
for Apollo upgrades?
