Re: Tracing the seams of Partition
Nice find!
Appears to be "Burmah-Shell Aviation Services" advertisement welcoming arrival of first Super Constellation of PIA at Karachi Airport.
PIA received all its first three Super Constellation aircraft in 1954, so this advertisement actually could be from year 1954
Maybe organizers of this event thought this advertisement is from 1955 because many articles/documents incorrectly mention 1955 as the year in which PIA was formed.
Actually, PIA began operating domestic flights with Super Constellation aircraft in 1954.
