Partition in India - refugees at Willingdon airport, New Del
A family who lost every male member in the frontier fighting - a forlorn group of refugees at Willingdon airport, New Delhi, after being brought by plane from one of the zones of communal strife on the borders of India and Pakistan. They were picked up at Gujranwala and brought south in a Dakota. Altogether 300, 000 Sikh and Hindu refugees were rescued by plane in September 1947, as roads were impassable with an estimated two million people on the move in East and West Punjab
