This isn’t the story of Air India history. Rather, the history of the country’s civil aviation. 1903 was the year, friends, when the Wright brothers flew the first airplane of the world. About 8 years later, in 1911, the first airplane was flown in India. Its pilot was a Frenchman, Henry Pequet. The flight from Allahabad to Naini lasted 15 minutes and carried thousands of letters.
