The Shah of Persia and his daughter Princess Shanaz in his plane. Coat of arms of Iran's Sovereign. Nice Airport 1958.

Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran and his daughter, Princess Shahnaz, are pictured in the cockpit of his private aircraft at Nice Airport in 1958. The Shah, at the controls, gazes forward with concentration, while the Princess rests her chin on her hand in a moment of reflection. Below the open canopy, the white fuselage is emblazoned with the Imperial coat of arms—two rampant lions supporting a royal crown—partially obscured by a strong shadow cast across the side of the plane.
