Indian Air Force : SILVER JUBILEE (Wapiti & Hunter)

India's 1958 Indian Air Force Silver Jubilee stamp (90 nP, April 30) charts 25 years of aviation evolution: from the 1933 Westland Wapiti biplane (IAF's first squadron) to the sleek 1958 Hawker Hunter jet. This blue commemorative honors the leap to modern defense, with "nP" (Naye Paise) marking India's 1957 decimal currency shift—a dual tribute to skies and economy!
