Do you know Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya's 'Air Force' is based on India's deadliest air strike of 1965?

India TV News  

After multiple flops in the year 2024, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is ready to start the new year with a bang. Air Force film is based on India's retaliatory attack on Pakistan during the 1956 air war. Pakistan attacked Pathankot and Halwara airbases, after which the Indian Air Force attacked Sargodha. On September 1, 1965, Marshal of the Indian Air Force Arjan Singh, then the Chief of the Air Staff, ordered air strikes against the Pakistan Forces. This event is also important because the Indian Air Force awarded the Mahavir Chakra posthumously to a pilot who was martyred in this war.
