Description: Landscape scenery showing a few hairpin turns on the Burma Road. This section of the road is known as The Stilwell Twenty-Four due to the number of switchbacks or hairpin turns going up the mountain. General Joseph Stilwell must have used that road when he led the OSS during WWII. A large section of it is currently preserved as a heritage site. See all items with this value
