Proposal artwork depicting the interior structure of the Design 619 space shuttle concept. Note that the airlock, used for docking to space stations and the like, is in the nose.

Interesting, I know of at least one novel from the 1970’s (“The Dynostar Menace” (1975), Kit Pedler & Gerry Davis) which makes use of a shuttle with exactly that feature. I always wondered where they got it from.
Add The Rescue Of Athena One (1976) to that list.
