Intro to the IAF History Site,


Welcome Folks! To the Indian Air Force History Site.  There are too few Web Sites that cater to the Indian Air Force, In fact I can count only one or two that are worth browsing thru. Hence this Humble attempt to Bridge the gap. We keep hearing about our successes at the 1971 War, But little of the other conflicts. you will be surprised at the kind of effort the Indian Air Force put in the other conflicts too.  so sit back and enjoy the ride. One Warning though. If you are in this site for pictures and Desktop backgrounds, I fear that you may be dissappointed. but if you are here to know more about the airforce and its history then rest be assured that you can find no other site cooler than this.

Starting From January 6th 1999, This site is being merged with the Indian Air Force Site on at Bharat-Rakshak.

Personal Info:


Name: P V S Jagan Mohan, 
Profession: an Amateur Historian and a Management Professional .
Motivation about the Indian Armed Forces:
  • Three years in the Khaki
  • Fortnight in the OGs (Olive Greens) .
  • Over Ten Years of reading about Indian Military History.

That is :

  • Three Years with the 1st Andhra Armoured Squadron , N C C  at college
  • A Fortnight with the 1st Independent Squadron, 7th Light Cavalry Regiment

  
As a Senior Cadet in the Armoured Squadron, we had the privilage of Wearing OG's,  something not available for others from Infantry and Arty. My Primary interest was in tanks, but I also got hooked onto Aircraft, and I decided to specialise in the IAF's History for the moment
