Commemorative HUMP Flight to China
Many American heroes died flying the HUMP in WW II to help save China and supply our forces there. Our HUMP flight, to honor their sacrifices and in their memory, needs your help to "survive." Our 1944 C-47, Buzz Buggy, had a catastrophic engine failure and made a single engine landing halfway on its journey. We need your help to replace the engine and continue the flight across the Himalayas to China.
A bronze plaque will be installed with the airplane when placed on display at the Flying Tigers Guilin Heritage Park & Museum that will acknowledge the names of all who donate $1000 or more. All donations are fully tax-deductible in the US.
Please contribute what you can right away. The men we honor deserve no less.
