The day marks an important chapter in the history of the Indian Air Force. It was on this day 89 years ago, since the foundation of the organisation in 1932, that IAF was officially recognized as a supporting force of the then British colonial Royal Air Force.
This year Indian Air Force also paid special tribute to the unsung air warriors of the 1971 war during which India defeated Pakistan resulting in the creation of present Bangladesh.
