On October 8 each year, India celebrates Air Force Day to commemorate the Indian Air Force (IAF) and its remarkable contributions to the nation's defence and security. The IAF, with its motto, "Touch the Sky with Glory, has safeguarded India's airspace and played a pivotal role not only in defending the nation but also in global humanitarian missions, disaster relief, and peacekeeping operations.
Established on October 8, 1932, the Indian Air Force has evolved into one of the most powerful air forces in the world, equipped with cutting-edge technology and a highly skilled workforce. Its commitment to global peace and security is a source of pride for the nation, showcasing the IAF's role beyond national defence.
The Indian Air Force was formed as an auxiliary force of the Royal Air Force under British rule. Its first aircraft were Westland Wapiti biplanes. Its initial role was limited to providing air support to ground forces. In 1950, with India becoming a republic, the 'Royal' prefix was dropped.
The IAF has been instrumental in every major conflict involving India, including the wars of 1947, 1962, 1965, and 1971, apart from the Kargil War of 1999. Its active role in these conflicts has instilled a sense of security and confidence in its capabilities, making every Indian feel reassured and safe.
It has emerged as a formidable South Asian force and a respected power in global military circles.
