"Another bit of inforlnatan possibly worth mowing is that the only way to
get to An'l~.ra frcan. Istanbul is by DC-3 r s of the Tlxrkish Airline. or by
train,. The planes operate only under fully contact conditions with the
result that an interruption of sca>ne days may occur in the service. In
addition to that, some people are hesitant to Fly with this line because,
s.side from the non-instrument aspects in a terrain. that is essentially
mc~.3ntainous, the lllaintenance is allegedly alarmingly substandard. I wFZS
advised that three fatal. accidents in a series last year resulted from
i'sul.ty maintenance . The only reulaining way,- therefore, to reach Ankara if3
~y train but in this connection there it3 a most peculiar-situation. The
reservations on the train sx'e frequently sold out for days in advance.
Despite the shortage they do not add extra trains or cars. I encountered.
e~.ctly this difficulty in Gaming here and, although.I was fortuitously
amble to obtain. one stray compartment of Cook's, the trains: were fully sold
out far the ensuing six days. Similarly in returning now to Istanbul,
although application was made well in advance, it was still, necessary to
travel one day later than planned."
