Henri Pequet
Henri Pequet was a pilot in the first official airmail flight on February 18, 1911. The 23-year-old Frenchman, in India for an airshow, delivered about 6,500 letters when he flew from an Allahabad polo field to Naini, about 10 kilometers away. He flew a Humber-Sommer biplane with about fifty horsepower, and made the journey in thirteen minutes.
The letters were marked "First Aerial Post, U.P. Exhibition Allahabad 1911."
