by ostensibly civilian air lines ly the Civil Air Meet/. these lines are actually sub-
Ject to military regulations and supervision and amused for primarily military pork-
poses. Regular flights are scheduled along routes running into North Korea and Man-
churia as well as within tho USSR. la addition to military supplies, civilian passengers
and moil are carried.

plane with twin air-cooled engines, elevators and rudder streamlined to the body, and
with a maximum speed of 420 kilometers per hour. Its cargo capacity Is ?,85 to 1.3
