...reportedly, serious shortages of essential goods as early as the first week in August--when the blockade was barely three months old. Using its foreign exchange reserves, Nigeria has bolstered its military superiority with Soviet bloc jets--more than a match for Biafra's one World War II surplus bomber...
...clear, calm days, from perfectly positioned aircraft, to targets safely distant from such hazards as rivers and lakes. On this day, though, the sky was mostly overcast at 4,500 ft., the winds aloft ranged up to 60 m.p.h., the air craft was a World War II B-25 bomber with rudimentary navigation equipment, and the pilot was Robert Karns, 29, who had never bothered to get a "type rating" for the plane.

Everywhere building showed some signs of the past conflict; one of the hotels where I stopped had taken a direct hit form an Israeli dive bomber-everyone had been shaken by the ferocity of the Israeli fire-power. At almost every major intersection burnt-out tanks faced each other, frozen for immortality in their last pugnacious stance. Amusingly enough both the Israeli and the Egyptian tanks were identical--except for the markings--both "Made in U.S.A...
