Spark in the eyes of Sudhir Walia was palpable from his childhood only.

While clicking this photo neither parents nor the photographer would have thought that this little boy is going to be the RAMBO of INDIAN ARMY in the coming days.

On this in 1965

SQUADRON LEADER AJJAMADA BOPAYYA DEVAYYA flying the Mystere aircraft was intercepted by a Pakistani supersonic F-104 Star-Fighter and DEVAYYA proved that it’s the flying skills & determination that matters more than the superior aircraft.

#KnowYourHeroes
The paki pilot of F-104 first fired an air-to-air Sidewinder missile, which Squadron Leader Devayya successfully evaded and the missile hit the ground.

#1965War
However, by virtue of its faster acceleration, the F-104 rapidly closed in on the Mystere and fired a burst of its 20 mm multibarrel cannon and succedded in damaging Squadron Leader Devayya's Mystere.
