Rescue At LZ Albany
 |
After interviewing many of the participants of the battle of LZ Albany, noted artist Paul Tuttle created the painting titled Rescue at LZ Albany. His work captures both artistic and historic accuracy of the battle at LZ Albany. The painting is a fitting tribute to the brave men of the 2nd Battalion 7th Cavalry, their comrades of A Company, 1st Battalion 5th Cavalry and to the heroic flight crews of the 229th (AHB), who flew mission after mission from the night of November 16 through the early morning hours of November 17, 1965, evacuating the wounded and bringing in much needed ammunition. |
