My upfront apologies for thread drift.

Based on GreenKight121's contribution you might find this interesting and hopefully educational;

Nevada Journal: Little Cat Mountain

I found the little museum by accident a few years back while on a motorcycle ride through Southern PRC. It is dedicated to the crew of the B.24 "Tough Titti" that perished in August 1944.

At the centre point in the museum is a 2ft x 4ft ish glass cylinder containing the dog tags of the crew. These may be reproductions.
It is a shrine.

I was moved by the care and attention in this place and especially the reverence in which the details of this tragic story are told.

I have spent a lot of time in PRC and frankly was surprised to see this.
International relations arguments aside, I was humbled by it.
