Memorial is dedicated to the three American airmen that lost
their lives in 1943, when an American bomber was shot down
over Martinje village in Prekmurje, Slovenia. Memorial is
conceived as a landscape image, a hill figure of white wings
on a gentle slope above Martinje, turning to the sky. Behind
it, a marked path leads to Srebrni breg (Silver Hill), the
highest top in Prekmurje. Memorial is supplemented by a descriptive
column near the road, made of concrete and weathering steel,
commemorating the event.
