The file is concerned with alleged violations of Nepalese territory by foreign aircraft. The reports are supplied to the Government of India by HM Minister to Nepal (Frederick Marshman Bailey and later Geoffrey Betham). The papers within the file can be largely grouped under two categories:
- correspondence related to a reported violation by a single aircraft on 29 December 1938 piloted by W M Fairweather: see folios 11-21
- correspondence regarding reports of violations between 23 April and 15 May 1942 by American and British aircraft: see folios 2-10
The file also contains a Foreign Office circular regarding subsidies for Royal Air Force pilots touring aboard (folio 29), and a Government of India Notice to Airmen, No 9 of 1938 (folios 22-25).
No papers have been filed for the years between 1940-41.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
