Victory Amidst The Flames Sepoy Ansuya PrasadPeriod : 1971 Indo Pak WarSquadron Leader Jag Mohan Nath was a highly decorated officer, having been ordered for Mahavir Chakra for his daring aerial sorties during 1962 war with China. Nath however was not one to rest on his laurels. In 1965 he was in command of a Canberra unit of Indian Air force. He led his unit in several sorties across Pakistani territory in an attempt to garner vital information about enemy movements. Despite the dangers of leading an unescorted mission, Nath flew long distances deep into enemy territory, over well defended airfields and installations in broad daylight. On all occasions he undertook the mission himself. It was after great precuasion that he allowed his juniors to take on a few risky assignments. The information he brought back enabled the Air force to plan attacks on vital enemy targets. The attacks hampered the Pakistani war efforts. For second time Squadron Leader Nath was honoured with the Mahavir Chakra. | Other CategoriesHero of Phir Thil Major Satyapal ChopraHavildar Fateh Singh Lone Gunner Sepoy Dewan Singh The Gallant Havildar Lance Havildar Daya Ram The Unstoppable Chuna Ram Havildar Chuna Ram Major Hari Chand Blood in the Snow Sepoy Amar Singh Hero in Civies civilian labourer, Ismail Mohammad Rifleman Dhonkal Singh Master Strategist Lt.Colonel Khanna Main CategoriesParam Vir ChakraAshoka Chakra Maha Vir Chakra Kirti Chakra Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha Padak Ati Vishisht Seva Medal Vir Chakra Shaurya Chakra President's Police and Fire Services Medal for Gallantry Sena Medal |
