Aircraft and Engine Perfect: The Story of JRD Tata and His Contribution to His Country's Aviation
The remarkable story of JRD, the man, and his major passion in life - flying, is the focus of this book. While numerous articles and biographical sketches have been published on his distinguished career as an industrialist, little has been recorded about his career as an airman and pilot. Relying mainly on JRD's flight log books, letters, and personal interviews spread over many years, the book skillfully knits together a fascinating account of his flying days. It is also the story of how a great airline, Air-India, was created and developed from a small, single-seater, cloth-wood-and-wire airplane. The book provides an insight into the personality of JRD, who, with the courage and conviction of his abilities, had faith in his country and a vision of its future. In addition to the wealth of information and background history on aviation, the book includes vintage photographs which are of great historical interest and value.
