The Planes of Hindustan (1940)
Director: P.V. Pathy
Summary: This is one of the very early films made in the first year of the War, which pointed out the potential value of the planes that guard India's frontiers. The intervening years have borne out the message that this film conveyed and it was the forerunner of the more comprehensive documentaries about India's Air Force and the importance of aerial defence which are also reviewed in this book. As such this film can be regarded as one of the 'pioneer' documentaries which set about educating people of the India regarding the defence of their country.
