the story of flight: as told by the indian stamps yv jeppu |
| Man has always looked at the birds
and envied and admired their freedom to fly. He has tried
to imitate them and tried to fly. The story of flight
starts from there. It is the story of Man’s conquest
of the skies The Beginning |
 |
A modest beginning was made when man used pigeons to carry written messages across the sky over long distances. In our times the carrying of messages still continues, not by pigeons but by the huge metal monsters that dominate the sky today. This saga is brought out in the stamp issued on October 1, 1954 on the occasion of the Stamp Centenary. |
