Birth of the Indian Air Force (IAF)

By Air Vice Marshal AK Tiwary

“Preparation for war is an expansive, burdensome business, yet there is one important part of it that costs little – STUDY.” 
— Field Marshal Slim

The IAF was created on paper on 8th Oct, 1932 by the Indian Air Force Act of 1932 and on that fateful day six Indian officers were granted the King’s Commission. The IAF actually took to Wings on 01 Apr, 1933 when it was equipped with four Wapiti aircraft.
