Top Jet Ace With 76MIG Kills
Dies on Routine Test Flight
Crash Of Sobrejet
Winds Up Career Of
Copt. Mcconnell, 81
By The A,,oeiafed Pres.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calf, Aug. 26.-Death on a
rountine test flight has ended
the spectacular career Of Capt.
Joseph Mcconnell, jr., the Ma
tons leading jet ace.
The 32-year-old pilot, credited
with downing Is MICS in Ko-
rea. was killed yesterday when
his F-86H Sabrejet crashed on
the Mojave Desert. IL miles
northeast Of Rogers Lake.
His body was found beside his
election seat. half a mile from
the plane. Nearby was his un-.
opened parachute. An Air Force
spokesman said apparently he
had elected himself from the
plane at low altitude.
Lost Control of Plane.
During the fight Capt. Nc
Connell had radioed that he had
lost control of the plane par
TALLY. but thought he could make
a landing on the dry lake bed.
Soon afterward he reported. he
had lost the cockpit canopy. He
was advised to bail out. Edwards
Base officers, said he probably
stayed with the plane too long.
Capt. Mcconnell. who said his
prematurely gray hair came
from being the father Of three
young children and not from his
flying, served as a bomber navi-
gator during World War II and
later took flight training.
After the fighting broke out
In Korea he repeatedly requested
combat duty despite being told
he was too old. His request
finally was granted and he be-
came an ace in just 80 days last
year. Five air victories make an
ace.
Capt. Mcconnell named his
Sabre "Beauteous Butch" nick
name for his wife, and shot
down his first MIG15 on January
IA and his fifth on February Is.
After downing his eighth. his
Sabre was hit by cannon fire at
10000 feet near the Manchurian
border. With the plane smoking
and developing only half power.
he glided toward friendly hnes.
Finally he bailed out over the
Yellow Sea and a rescue hell
copter pulled him from the
frigid water.
Then on April "a Capt. Nc
Connell scored his 10th kill and
on May 18 his 14th and 18th.
First Triple Jet Ace.
This made him the first triple
jet ace. And the afternoon Of
May 18 he knocked down his
18th. The Air Force then ground
ed him and ordered him home
with the statement that he was
much more valuable alive than
dead" The plane he few yes
terday was a modified version
of the Sabreiet he used in Korea.
Capt. McConnell's comment on
his orders home was: 'It's the
best kind of flying I've ever done.
