The first 86-152 prototype crashed on its maiden flight-a disaster that was officially attributed to "sabotage" by Designer Manfred Gerlach (TIME, Sept. 12). While other engineers have been trying to get the bugs out of the BB-152-II, the aircraft plants have sporadically been turning out piecework: incubators, luggage racks, TV antennas. The Politburo's decision...
