Wing Commander Karun 'Jumbo' Majumdar is a legend of Indian Aviation. Joining the Indian Air Force in the 1930s, Jumbo would be the second Indian to command an active-duty squadron before his leadership and airmanship would be put to the test as the Second World War reached India. The 17th February 2022 marks the 77th anniversary of the Hawker Hurricane crash that took Jumbo Majumdar's life and to commemorate him, Boney is joined by Indian aviation historian Jagan Pillarisetti to discuss the early days of the IAF and the remarkable life of Wing Commander Majumdar.
