In the earliest days, when man was yet living in the lap of nature, the only means of locomotion must have been his legs.

Even to-day horses and camels are commonly used to carry heavy loads and men from one place to another. Man’s needs multiplied and he tried to march ahead on the path of civilization, he had to make new inventions. Steam engine was invented. Trains started running. Cars and buses began to move on the roads. But man was not satisfied with all this. He wanted to fly in air like birds. He carved for wings. This desire led to the invention of aeroplanes.

The unique feature of air travel is the fact that men, goods and mail can move quickly from any point of the global air network to any other by air combination of routes, on a single ticket valid everywhere.

But Air-travel has its own limitations. It is very costly. Only the rich can afford to travel by aeroplane. It is out of reach of common people. As only the rich and the important persons travel by air, the loss in air accidents is of precious lives. Even the aeroplanes carrying the late Prime Minister Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, the late Sardar Patel and Ex-Prime Minister Moraji Desai were involved in trouble. The whole country waited restlessly for the news of their safety. Dr. Homi Bhaba, the renowned scientist of India, was killed in an air crash.

New types of air-planes are being introduced for air-travel. Recently, a large number of our cities have been linked by aeroplanes and thus placed on the air-map of India. Air-shuttles are operated between these cities.

The tremendous and continuous progress made in recent years in speed, safety, passenger-comfort and convenience, is bound to make more and more people air minded. Air travel has brought with it new philosophies. Scientific progress is bringing about changes in the outlook of men. All these changes are certain to make the aeroplane more popular. The future of air-travel, in India and in other counties, is

    One of the predictions that John Wilkins stated in his book, A Discourse Concerning a New World and Another Planet, was that people would be able to fly through the air someday. “...it possible to make a flying chariot in which a man may sit and give such a motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this perhaps might be made large enough to carry diverse men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum and commodities for traffic” (Wilkins 1: 104). These predictions did come true, in a sense. Nowadays, we can fly through the sky in a plane with many other people and amenities such as food and luggage.…

    People realized that potential aircraft held as a source of transportation, not only of people, but, for freight. Early on, this new found transportation was expressed in exploration. There were adventurers like Charles Lindbergh, with “The Spirit of Saint Louis”, making the first transatlantic flight and Amelia Earhart, the first woman to make a transatlantic flight. Later, airplanes were used in expeditions and, after a while, multi-engine planes were being chartered and used for expedient travel. These charters started out with private planes and their owners, putting their services up for hire. Before long, there was an industry of commercial planes providing transportation to the public for a price. Around the same time, airplanes became the new wave of transport for freight. Not only was this used for private industries, but also, was employed by the government for United States mail system. The major advantage of travel by air was expediency. Not long after, men felt a superiority in the skies and a kind of cockiness that domineered their aircraft. The risk envelope was pushed and the thrills escalated. Stunts were being performed like no one had ever imagined. Only the bravest of souls would do these stunts, which included walking across the wing whilst in mid-flight, and low flying races with automobiles. Some of these daring pilots were Ruth Law Oliver,…
