The Pilot Who Rescued His Former Student
During the Korean War, a U.S. pilot shot down an enemy aircraft. The opposing pilot bailed out and was being watched on the ground by the American—only to discover that the pilot used to be his flight instructor. The coincidence was mind-blowing.
Having not seen each other for years, the battlefield encounter led to a reconciliation that transcended the front lines. Years later, they became friends—an example of how humanity can prevail even across borders during wartime.
