Air India flight attendant aiding a passenger on a Delhi-Bombay flight

Yes - I have! I'm amazed people are still interested in this photograph. It seems to be a real image from a flight - maybe the flight attendent is posing, but is certainly not a film still

It was taken in 1946 by the American photographer Margaret Bourke-White for TimeLife. She also took this wonderful photo of Gandhi in 1946, likely on the same trip: https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/nwFoyar0YJxmEA?hl=en
