Some rare pictures of the first 50 years of Tatas in aviation (1932-1982)

10/8/2016

I recently acquired a copy of the TATA review published in December 1982. This issue is devoted to the 50th anniversary celebrations of Tatas in aviation. JRD Tata re-enacted his historic flight from Karachi to Bombay, in a De Havilland DH.85 Leopard Moth VT-AKH, and this time at the young age of 78 years.
There is other material in the issue besides this flight, and
you can download the pdf version of this by clicking this link.
The postal authorities issued a commemorative postage stamp on this occasion, with an image of Mr. Tata standing in front of the aircraft.
