...that prosperity is due to the Viet Nam war. Ferrying troops and equipment for the Pentagon accounts for 62% of the supplementals' revenues. A big lift, however, comes from the growing travel market. Last year the CAB-to the consternation of the trunk airlines-empowered the supplementals to charter their planes to travel agents for all-expense "inclusive tours" both inside and outside...
Continental Breakfast. Escorted by tough riot police of Beirut's red-bereted "Squad 16," the Americans boarded Pan American and Middle East Airlines charter jets, soon were winging for Rome, Athens, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Ankara, and Nicosia on Cyprus.
