美國空軍中印駝峰飛行委員會於蔣中正總統百歲誕辰製贈之「飛躍駝峰石」,二次大戰期間美國空軍自印緬經昆明資助盟軍與國軍,飛躍喜馬拉雅山,時稱「駝峰空運」,其間驚險莫名,很容易失去航道方向,此石在雲南大理山上,閃閃發光,循該石向東南,即如同按圖索驥。
China-Burma-India Hump Pilots Association presented the Stone of Flying the Hump on the Centenary of President Chiang Kai-shek. During World War II, the pilots of USAAF(United States Army Air Forces) flew military transport aircrafts from India and Burma, over the Himalayas, to Kunming to resupply allied forces based in China and the Republic of China Armed Forces, and at that time, the airlift was called "Hump Express." Flying over the Himalayas was extremely dangerous and easy to lose directions. When the pilots saw the glittering stones on the Mount Dali, Yunnan, they made a turn and by following up the clue, flew the aircrafts southeastward.
