Part of 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.

Yakovlev's workhorse jet has thick, high-lift wings, big flaps, a relatively slow cruising speed of 450 m.p.h. and fat, soft tires-enabling it to land on small unimproved dirt fields that cannot be used by other jets. At cruising altitude, one of the three jet engines can be throttled back to idling position and virtually closed down...
