    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!

    (In picture caption reads:)

    This is a picture of a Polish Air Force Officer, just before he left for Copenhagen, after breaking through the iron curtain and landing a Soviet-made MIG-15 on Bornholm Island, Denmark, without damaging it. 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.
