Correction:

It was on the 30 of May 1935 that two women — nineteen-year-old Kummudammal and sixteen-year-old Angulia Bai — made aviation history in the city. Determined to learn how to pilot an aircraft, the young women joined the Madras Flying Club to obtain the 'A' pilot license. After weeks of training under instructor E.N.V. Everett, the cockpit so far occupied by men, was going to have women in command.
