For Atlantic Crossing
Smashed Again by B-47

the non-stop U.S.-England flight.
It was the last of a flight of
45 of the sleek, swept-wing six
jet U.S.A.F. atom bombers to land
at the air base in the heart of
Gloucestershire — and the third
for the day to break the U.S.
England record.
The 15 planes completed a mass
flight of 45 Stratojets of the 306th
Medium Bombardment Wing
along the 3,120-mile sky route
from Limestone, Me., to Fairford.

Red Air Raid Shakes
Pres. Rhee’s Mansion
SEOUL, W)—Nine planes from
the north swept over Seoul Mon
day night in the biggest Red air
raid of the war, dropping bombs
that shook President Syngman
Rhee’s mansion and injured seven
persons.
Some of the bombs narrowly
missed the Eighth Army’s press
billets.
One hundred - pound bomb hit
only 1,000 feet from Rhee’s man
sion near the capitol, injuring two
women.
The explosions shook the area
and lit the night sky with an in
tense white glare—almost as if
the bombs were some type of
heavy incendiary.
Similar light planes — “Wash
ing machine Charlies”—have at
tacked Seoul at night in the past.
One of the eight injured was
an American, Michael Rougier,
Life photographer, who was cut
by flying glass when one of the
four 250-pound bombs that hit
the capital struck near the Eighth
Army press billets.

Pan Am’s Low-Fare
Tourist Class Air Service
Boosts Hawaii Travel 81%
SEATTLE — Low-fare tourist
class air service inaugurated last
December by Pan American World
Airways has resulted in an 81%
increase in local travel between
the Pacific Coast and Hawaii in
the first four months of 1953, com
pared to the same period last year,
Donald E. McMorran, regional
traffic and sales superintendent
said here recently.
Commently on the progress of
Pan Am’s world-wide program to
expand the scope of tourist ser
vices, McMorran said such flights
were extended across the Atlan
tic and through Europe to the
Middle East by April.
Subject to the approval of var
ious foreign governments, the
company will operate tourist
flights into India by October.
By next year, the cost-less, “no
frills” air transportation will be
extended across the Pacific to
meet Pan Am’s present tourist
plane schedules in Honolulu.
