TO: Courageous Jet Pilots

SUBJECT: The way to the Free World

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 live a better, honorable life.

The Far East Command guarantees your safety and the right to live in a free nation not under the Communist regime. If the pilots so desire, their names will be kept secret forever.

Your brave actions will not only enable you to escape from the ordeal and fear of Communist control and enjoy a peaceful life in the free world but also your determination and courage will help all the other people who are fighting for the liberation of the people under Communist dictatorship, the people's enemy, by showing them the road to freedom.

The Far East Command will give 50,000 US dollars reward to any pilot who delivers a modern, operational, combat-type jet aircraft in flyable condition to South Korea and an additional 50,000 US dollars to the pilot of the first such jet aircraft received by the UN Forces.

Following is a list of escape instructions for all the pilots who are seeking freedom from Communist tyranny:

Escapee pilots will fly to Paengyong-do Island fifty (50) kilometers south of Chodo Island. From Paengyong-do escapee pilot will proceed to Kimpo Air Base at 6100 meters altitude, descend over Kimpo Air Base, and proceed to make an immediate landing. UN aircraft will accompany escapee remaining always above and to the rear, unless low clouds or visibility prevent escapee from locating Kimpo Air Base. If escapee is unable to make a visual let-down, he will proceed to the Seoul area at 6100 meters and circle with his gear down. A UN aircraft will then fly close abreast and lead the way to the landing field. Upon initial contact with UN aircraft, or if at any time UN aircraft attempt attack, escapee will immediately lower landing gear and rock his wings violently.

The free world shall welcome you as an old friend as well as a hero.
