a former welder and baseball
pitcher, he's an ex-paratrooper who
has made 17 military jumps, in

BEOUL Ltv-A daring North Ko
rean pilot today handed the allies
a sleek MIGli jet tighter we
deadly Red warplane for which the
United States offered $100,000 last
February.
The MIG's guns were still armed
when it raced unheralaea from
North Korea and made a perfect
landing at sprawling aumpo Air
Base near Seoul.
It was the first MIO to fall Into
Allied hands in Korea. The Russian-built,
swept-wing ftgniers nev
er left their own air over Red ter
ritory during the war.
The U.N. Command said the
It 00.000 reward offered for the first
MIO to boll to the Allies I? jUll in

There was no oulck reaction
from the Communists.
At first the Allies refused to Iden
tify the flier, but later in Tokyo.
Gen. O. P. Weyland. Far East Air
Forces commander, said be was a
North Korean.
Weyland announced:
The let was from a "North Ko
rean air unit."
It Is being studied by U. 8. Air
Force officers.
The Dilot's name will not be re-
realed unless he personally consents.
The North Korean will be grant
ed asylum if he wants it.
The pilot disappeared oehlnd
tight wall of secrecy and Kimpo
Air Base was closed to everyone
but authorised military personnel.
A psychological warfare colonel
near Seoul said American Sabre
jets met the MIO over the southern
boundary of the demilitarized strip
across the Korean peninsula and
escorted the Red fighter to Seoul.
However, the MIO apparently
caught Kimpo Air Base by sur
prise. A crowd scurried out to the run
wav after the plane stopped.
The pilot was described as short
and black-haired.
An American pilot who met him
said the flier pulled a picture of
a girl from his blue flying suit
and tore it up. The American
pieced together the shreds of the
picture, which he said "looked like
a North Korean."
Col. Don P. Hall of Kingsville,
Tex., commander of the 4th Fight
er -Interceptor Wing, said the pilot
was "smiling' and very happy it
was over with.!'
Kali said the MIO pilot got out
of his Plane and immediately sal
uted Cant. Cipriano F. Ouerra,
Mission, Tex.
"The captain was quite sur
prised." Hall said. "He got out of
his Sabre jet and walked over to
the MIOIS. A crewman threw sand
bags under the wheels. . . .
"The MIO pilot shook hands with
all the men.
"The captain pointed toward the
sun on the MIO and the MIO pilot
turned off the switch. Air police
Immediately surrounded the plane
and the MIO pilot accepted ciga
rettes that were offered to him by
those milling around."
Asked why the pilot brought the
MIO. Hall quoted nim:
"I'm happy to leave commu
nism." -It Is believed be knew of the
reward," Hall said.
The pilot's first words were ret
ported to be "O.K." His only other
word In English was "no."
Hall said his clothing was "non
descript. . . . a blue-colored flying
suit, a leather Jacket and light
colored shin and flying boots.'
The pilot was armed, but he
turned over his. loaded pistol to
Ouerra.
Hall said the Red pilot is about
2p years old and an ol'icer.
Asked what the Air Force
planned to do with the MIO Hall
explained:
"I do not know If we will fly
the MIG but we will get the most
out of it. We definitely will go
nv.r It from D npuj lh
