A military court found the airmen likely intended to drop supplies for spies in Eastern Europe after failing to give a satisfactory explanation for their flight over Hungary. The case references maps of Russia and the People’s Democracies, parachutes, radio gear, and blankets. The United States disputed charges of espionage and noted the flight was on a routine path from a German base to Belgrade with embassy supplies, while Hungary considers possible diplomatic actions and fines.

Truman Won't Take Action Today
President Truman said he planned no action today over four American fliers convicted in Hungary for border violations. He paused when asked, joked about freeing a correspondent imprisoned in Czechoslovakia, and prepared to leave for Independence, Missouri for Christmas. The State Department canceled holiday leaves and weighed paying Hungary a $120,000 ransom for the four men as a Communist court ordered fines of $30,000 each or three months in a Red jail.
