Exactly!
I got the first photo from a Flight Global article about cyber security in the aircraft industry.
At the time of posting I did not even know myself who and what the plane were.
Cub2Jet had clearly recognized the man and the photo.
So I myself had to find the answer too!
Jimmy Doolittle made the first instrument take off and landing in this NY-2 in 1929. Instrument flying only was already mastered by Jimmy at that time and common practice in advanced pilot training.
India has control
Ps the article of Flight Global is recommended!
