I count 12 missions with a crew, including Apollo and 16 without.

There were many apollo missions, most of which had no crew, but no
Apollo 2 or 3.

Umm, most of which had no crew? I think you're missing something in your

Apollo 1's mission was to just test the Apollo spacecraft in Earth
orbit, Apollo 7 took over Apollo 1's mission.

If Apollo 1 had been successful, what was the goal of the mission? You
always hear of the fire, but I've never heard what the plan was.

Was threre Apollo 2 & 3? My videos only tell of 4,5 & 6 being
unmanned tests of the Saturn V.
