I ahven't any stories to tell regarding X-ray/Albany, except to say by the time I came through Benning OCS these battles were enshrined in 1st Cav, and Army, history.

I read somewhere else that when LBJ and Strange McNamara heard about the combiuned casualties of X-ray/Albany, they lost the starch from their fatigues.

Airmobility was conceptualized with the Howze Board, put into practice with the early 1st Cav's exploits, and by the timme I got there, it was a well-oiled machine.

We owed much to the pioneers.
