English:
Memorial Hall for the U.S. Airmen Killed In Action During World War II is dedicated to the 11 U.S. Airmen who were killed when their B24 crashed into the mountain peak on Namhae returning from a bombing mission early in the morning of August 8, 1945, after being damaged by Japanese artillery, and to Kim Deok-hyeong, who single-handedly buried the 11 men, used his own funds to build a monument at the crash site, and establish the Memorial Hall where ceremonies are still held each year for the Airmen.
