Leaflet 2508 Back Side:
Brave Pilots!
If you have the courage, if you love freedom, and if you want to live a better, honorable life, this is your opportunity! Free yourself from Communist tyranny! Get into your jet plane and fly toward the free world!
Courageous Pilots!
The Far East Command is fully prepared to aid all the pilots who wish to liberate themselves from the vicious whip of the Communist regime controlling the people of North Korea, and who want to lead a better, honorable life.
Friends! General Mark W. Clark, Commander-in-Chief, Far East, guarantees you refuge, safety, human rights and protection. If you so desire, he shall make certain that your name will be kept secret. Also, any pilot who delivers a modern, operational, combat-type jet aircraft in flyable condition to the UN Forces will be rewarded 50,000 US dollars. The first pilot who delivers such a jet aircraft to the UN sector will be rewarded an additional 50,000 US dollars.
The instructions for the method of flying toward the free world are contained in a letter written on the back of this hand bill.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND FLY TOWARD THE FREE WORLD WHERE FREEDOM AND A REWARD IS AWAITING YOU!

According to the news from Denmark, he has been granted political asylum in England. HE DID IT, WHY NOT YOU?
Note: The following message in Chinese language appears on one side: "This is a message from the Americans to any jet pilot who can read Korean. If you know such a person, please give it to him. It tells him how to escape to the UN Forces.

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
