In less than seven years, the line has parlayed high hopes and a low-flying PBY into a sophisticated operation with 24 aircraft, mostly antiquated DC-3s and C-46s. Though 1966 profits of $2.9 million were modest by international-carrier standards, C.A.L. executives nevertheless point proudly to the fact that they have increased revenues 106% in the past four years.
