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.

Swapnil Pandey

An alumni of Birla Institute of Technology Mesra, Swapnil Pandey has worked in many places and held several positions, which is the trademark of any Army Wife. She has worked in Wipro, HDFC, taught at Lovely Professional University and the Army Public School, to name a few. She is also an active AWWA member. Swapnil is a fitness freak, and a green tea addict who loves shoes and perfumes. She wears her ‘silent rank badges’ proudly, and loves compiling stories about life in the Indian Army on her blog. The extraordinary Army life has given her a vast canvas of stories, and helped her gain an insight into human emotions and struggles. The courageous veer naris, the extroverted Army brats, charming Army wives and the gallant soldiers whose lives are filled with joy, sorrow, adventure, and even horror, have inspired her to be a storyteller. She believes people should not only know about a soldier’s valour, but also about his hidden emotions. Love Story of a Commando is her second novel after the bestselling Soldier’s Girl: Love Story of a Para-Commando.
