VT-ATI    Douglas DC-3                                                              (c/n  4922)

                                     

                                           Air-India Ltd was formed into 1946 by the amalgamation of Tata Air Lines (by far the largest
                                           entity) Indian National Airways and Air Services India.  The above shot is therefore somewhat
                                           rare inasmuch as it shows this ex-USAAF C-53-DO (42-6470) wearing Tata Air Lines mark-
                                           ings, probably in late 1945 before being absorbed in  the Air-India fleet,.     VT-ATI overran
                                           Jammu-Satwari Airport whilst lading on November 13, 1947 and was written off.  There were
                                           no casualties among the crew or passengers. .
