Master 1791 - Tape 2 Aerial shots of South Korean countryside and villages as viewed from U.S. military cargo plane flying overhead. MS bundled cargo in hold aboard plane. MS/CUs white male U.S. airmen cutting cargo, unloading thousands of PsyOps (Psy Ops, psychological operations, psychological warfare) propaganda leaflets over occupied areas, mad flurry of small pieces of paper flying out open doorway. VO: "Over Korea last week, the air force was flying missions of hope as well as destruction. This 5th Air Force plane unloads a cargo of leaflets on Communist conquered areas in South Korea, leaflets telling of mounting U.S. strength, of world unity in the cause of Korean freedom, of determination to drive out the invaders. As Communist forces lower an iron curtain over conquered areas, instituting Marxist reforms and bringing their brand of democracy to once-free Koreans, from the air comes word that the Red triumph is only temporary. United Nations answers communism's programs of lies and promises. To South Korea, the leaflets mean assurance that it does not stand alone."
