As India\u2019s first female pilot, Usha&#8217;s aviation career began after moving to Bangalore with her husband, who became the Director of Civil Aviation in the Government of Mysore. She was the first graduate of the Government Flight Training School in Jakkur, and her career soared from there.<\/p>\n<p>Usha started as a co-pilot to her husband, flying many of India&#8217;s leaders, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, and Rajendra Prasad. She continued to pilot for Nehru after her husband took up administrative duties with Tata Airlines. Her notable flights included rescue missions during the partition riots of 1947 and a speed record-setting flight from England to India in a piston-engine aircraft, which still stands today.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bluecrossofindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Usha.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"385\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 1959, Usha co-founded Blue Cross of India with her husband Capt.
