AIR WARRIORS: True Stories of Valour and Courage from the Indian Air Force
Original price was: ₹299.00.₹209.00Current price is: ₹209.00.
A newly independent country acquires its first heavy bomber from an Aircraft Graveyard and flies it for two decades!
A young Flight Lieutenant flies a daring dawn attack on a heavily defended Pakistani Airfield in the 1965 War and returns safely. Only to perish in a crash a week later.
Two wartime foes, one of whom shoots down the other in air combat, meet later as friends in life.
These and other compelling human-interest stories form the backbone of Air Warriors, an anthology of untold stories from the Indian Air Force. From the fascinating story of the inception of the Thunderbolts to how fifty-seven people were flown out from Car Nicobar after the 2004 Tsunami in a single Avro rescue mission authorised to fly only twenty-five passengers, the book is told from the viewpoint of the actual protagonists against the backdrop of day-to-day life in the Indian Air Force.
