Trailing Terns Path

Indian Air Force, the fourth largest Air Force in the world is a force to reckon with thanks to those wonderful men behind those wonderful machines that have guarded and continue to guard the Indian skies. Navigators have played an important part in the evolution of this force even though it is less glamorous and has generally remained hidden from the light despite the fact that the history of this breed of military aircrew is as old as that of the military aviation itself. Authors also pay their tributes to the galaxy of IAF Navigators who have contributed to shape the IAF of today and also to those Veteran Navigators who even excelled in civil life once they hung their IAF uniform, be it in the field of civil aviation or other fields. The rich legacy left behind by stalwarts of yesteryears is being untiringly carried forward with élan by today’s generation of Navigators in their pursuit to live up to the IAF motto ‘Touch The Sky With Glory’.
