The Aircraft Factory
On Republic Day, 26 January 1955, India issued a new series of eighteen definitive stamps, from 3 pies to 10 rupees, on the theme of the First Five Year Plan: the farms, dams, crafts, industries and landscapes of the new republic. They were printed by photogravure at the Security Printing Press, Nashik, on paper watermarked with stars. The 12 annas stamp shows the aircraft factory of Hindustan Aircraft at Bangalore, which built and serviced aircraft for the Indian Air Force and the airlines.
