Ruthy Lachman Paul, Norcross, was dead-on in spotting the last mystery photo. She says: “Today’s mystery photo is a ‘photo of a photo’ and was shot at the Atlanta History Center in Atlanta. The subject of the mystery photo is a dramatic, wall-sized, multi-pane version of an original photo taken c.1969 by 1st Lt. James H. Holcombe Jr (1947 – present), a Tucker resident and photographer who was based at the Bien Hoa Air Base in South Vietnam, approximately 16-miles northeast of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon). The enlarged photo depicts a swarm of Huey helicopters as they approach a grassy field landing zone in South Vietnam. The photo is one of 43 historic photos (17 of which were created by James H. Holcombe Jr) that are part of the History Center’s exhibit “More Than Self: Living the Vietnam War.” The exhibit first opened to the public in November 2017, and is a detailed, historical look of the Vietnam War through the eyes of Atlantans who lived through it.” The photo was made by Ricky Krause of Lilburn.
Others recognizing the photo included Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Susan McBrayer of Sugar Hill.
