Maj. George E. "Bud" Day, a downed F-100 Super Sabre pilot, became the only known American to escape into South Vietnam after being captured in the north. Within two miles of freedom, he was re-captured by the Viet Cong. He wouldn't know freedom again for 5 1/2 years. For his bravery, he received the Medal of Honor. (U.S. Air Force illustration)
