SEARCH FOR PILOT
Plane Plunges Into Sea (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) BONN, July 19. West Germany lost its 61st Starfighter jet yesterday when it plunged into the North Sea near Heligoland, the Defence Ministry said. The pilot parachuted into the sea. A full-scale air and sea search was quickly launched, but he has not yet been found. The American-designed planes, built under licence in Germany, have been plagued by accidents in the air. Thirtyfour airmen have been killed so far.
