Recently the Hump Second World War Museum has been inaugurated in Arunachal Pradesh.
It has been inaugurated in Pasighat in East Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh.
It was inaugurated by US Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti and Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu.
The Hump World War II Museum pays tribute to the aviators who operated the dangerous air route between north-eastern Assam and Yunnan in China.
This route was named 'The Hump'.
The air route got its nickname because of the formidable challenges faced by Allied pilots flying from airfields in Assam to airfields in Yunnan.
Established in 1942 in response to the Japanese Army blocking the Burma Road, The Hump became the most important airfield in history.
