The impressive Mehrangarh Fort, in Rajasthan, is hardly done justice by the image on this poster of "The Old Fort, Jodhpur." In total, it encompasses almost 1200 acres and is situated over 350 feet above the surrounding plain. Indian National Airways was founded in 1933. In 1953, the company merged with eight other small Indian airlines to become Indian Airlines.
