We studied the unique EUV spectra of the 21 Jan. 1974 flare observed by the NRL Normal-Incidence Slit Spectrometer (SO 82B) onboard the Skylab. The results show that the pre-impulsive transition region plasmas exhibited enhanced turbulence and heating before the acceleration of energetic particles. The absence of blue-shifted components in the Fe XXI line profiles shows that the chromospheric evaporation is not important in this flare.
