Islamabad: Air Force Day is being observed with national zeal today (7th September) to commemorate the dexterity and valour of the defenders of air space against Indian aggression in September 1965 war.
Every year on September 7, Air Force Day is celebrated across the country after the annual Defence Day celebrations.
Special ceremonies will be held at the graves of the 1965 war heroes. In addition, special prayers were offered for the solidarity, integrity and independence of the motherland after Fajr prayers.
In the 1965 war, the valiant Pakistani pilots despite limited resources not only annihilated Indian air aggression but also inflicted humiliating defeat on India through unprecedented skill in the warfare and insurmountable courage.
The PAF ace Muhammad Mahmood Alam, commonly known as M.M.Alam, shot down five Indian Air Force Hawker Hunter Mk. 56 fighters in less than a minute.
On this day, the Indian Air Force launched a clandestine attack on Lahore at Burki border in the morning but failed miserably after valiant resistance by proud sons such as Major Raja Aziz Bhatti.
