The Wreckage from Hump Flights

In the 1940s, the armies of China and the USA combated with Japanese invaders
in the skies of West Yunnan. The Hump Flights thus were given birth from
Yunnan to Dinjan (India), bringing into action of over 2,000 planes. People
 also call these flights “the Death Flights”. In the service period, the
Hump Flights airlifted as much as 800,000 tons of war materials; 609 aircrafts
 crashed; and nearly 2,000 pilots died at their posts.

Wreckage can still be found today in Gaoligong Mt. area. On 30 monuments for
 3,300 aviation martyrs, one can find the names of 2,200 American pilots whom
 the Chinese people will revere for ever.
