Located just off the trail leading toward the former Partisan Hospital Bela (Partizanska bolnica Bela), accessible by following the signs marked Grob Pilota (Pilots Grave)

A brass inscribed plaque attached to a large boulder.

The plaque marks the spot where 2LT Otto Hinds (353rd Bomber Squadron, 301st Bomber Group) was buried after he died from wounds suffered after parachuting out of his crippled B-17 (42-97580), known locally as Liberty Bell in July 1944.  According to reports, 2LT Hinds, the plane's co-pilot, kept the plane under control after being hit, allowing most of the crew to bail out. After the crew bailed out, Hinds attempted to depart, but his chute only partially opened.  He broke his back upon landing, and local Partisans took him to a Partisan Hospital, Bella (Partizanska bolnica Bela).  Despite the efforts of the doctors, Hinds died, and the Partisans buried him with honors nearby.

The text on the plaque is written in Slovenian and reads:
