Fakta

A gripping account of the Indian Air Force's most daring operations... brings alive the courage, sacrifice and professionalism of our air warriors with remarkable authenticity.' - Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh, Chief of Air Staff

'A riveting narrative of courage under fire... meticulously researched and compellingly told, Wings of Valour is a tribute to the unsung heroes of the Indian Air Force.' - The Tribune

'Takes readers into the cockpit of history - from the skies of Kargil to covert operations - painting an unforgettable portrait of valour, strategy and sacrifice.' - India Today

After travelling across various airbases in India and engaging with Air Force personnel-including the first generation of Chinook or Prachand helicopter pilots, Garud Commandos, surface-to-air missile operatives and Kargil heroes-Swapnil Pandey presents a collection of true stories that are more awe-inspiring than fiction.

What does it take for an ordinary man to withstand torture for the sake of his nation-and live to tell the tale? What occurred in the last moments of the daring fighter pilots who attained martyrdom even as they paved the way to victory? What goes into the workings of India's finest fighter jets? In these pages, you will find the answers to these questions and more.

From the story of the first airman to receive the nation's highest peacetime gallantry award for ground combat to heroic rescue operations and death-defying wartime feats, Wings of Valour brings you exclusive insights and thrilling accounts of bravery from the Indian Air Force.
