Description
  • Scope and content: EJECTION OF A MIG PILOT -- This unusual sequence of photos, taken by gun camera film of a U.S. Air Force F-86 "Sabre" jet fighter-interceptor, shows a Communist MIG-15 pilot abandoning his aircraft after it has been hit by the "Sabres" gunfire. The MIG-kill went to 2nd Lt. Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., 180 Walnut St., Montclair, N.J., on May 14, during a six day period which saw the Air Force "Sabre" pilots destroy 36 Red MIG jets. In the upper left photo, the MIG has been hit, and is about to be abandoned. In the center picture, the pilot has hit his ejection charge which has gone off. At right, the MIG flier has just left his aircraft. The bottom panel's three sequences show the enemy pilot as he and his crippled plane separate.
