Why is the IAF Day Celebrated?
Every year the country celebrates this day to raise awareness around the world about the Force as an organization that works towards strengthening national security. Indian Air Force is the air arm of the Indian armed forces as it plays an important role in wars fought by the country. The first war was fought by the force on 01st April 1933. The first time Indian Air Force came into brave action was during the Waziristan war against the tribal. During World, War II proved to be a great defence force, especially in Burma. Its anonymous contribution and achievement made the IAF win the prefix of Royal in 1945 and hence came to be known as the Royal Indian Air Force (RIAF). Later the prefix Royal was dropped when the country became a republic in the year 1950.
