Mrinalini Sen (3 August 1879 – 8 March 1972) was a Bengali writer in British India.
After placing her brother on the throne of Paikpara, she eloped and married Nirmal Chandra Sen. She had four children - NC Sen (Jr), Srilata, Arati, and Anjali.
[1][2] Both were prominent members of Calcutta’s elite society, and it was during the late 1900s when Mrinalini Devi got the chance to undertake the historic flight on 19 December 1910 and become the first Indian to fly in a plane.
In 1910, the Belgian pilot Jules Tyck had brought a Farman biplane and a Bleriot XI monoplane to operate the first manned flight out of India.
