💨 Abstract

On February 18, 1911, French pilot Henri Pequet took off in a biplane from an exhibition ground in Allahabad (now Prayagraj) and flew the world's first official airmail, carrying 6,500 letters and postcards. The historic flight, which coincided with the Kumbh Mela, included mails for Jawaharlal Nehru and King George V.
