JEH' A Life Of J.R.D.Tata by Bakhtiar K. DadabhoyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A good book to know about the life of J. R. D. Tata who seems to be last of the legends from the family of Tatas.
As expected the book outlines his life from birth to death. The key focus is on his keen interest in aviation and how it led to him flying an aircraft from Karachi to Mumbai carrying mail. The first was a pioneering flight which led to the formation of airmail in India. The other two were done after 30 years and after 50 years of the original flight to reenact the first flight.
It gives a fair, not a biased, account of the life of JRD. It is sad that we do not have more of the same type in our industries now.
A must read for those who read JRD and a must read for those who don't so that they develop respect for him.
