The Indian Air Force celebrated its Platinum Jubilee on 8th Oct. It was on the same day in 1932, well before we got independence, that IAF was formed, then known as the Royal Air Force with a pretty small fleet of 4 wapiti aircrafts with 6 officers and 19 sepoys. As we stand today, IAF is the 4th largest in the world with over 1.7 lakhs personnel and around 1300 aircrafts.
