Fort Hertz, British military outpost in Putao, Myanmar
Fort Hertz stands in northeastern Myanmar, positioned 354 kilometers north of Myitkyina at the coordinates of 27.35°N and 97.4°E.
The military post, established in 1914, received its name in 1925 to honor William Axel Hertz, who led expeditions into northern Burma in 1888.
The local population referred to the fort as Hkamti Long, which translates to 'Great Place of Gold' in the regional language.
The fort maintained an airstrip that served as an emergency landing point for aircraft flying the India-China route during World War II.
The garrison sustained operations exclusively through air supply for 25 consecutive months between August 1942 and August 1944.
