THE BEGINNING OF THE INDIAN AIR FORCE The Indian Air Force came formally into existence on 08 Oct 1932, the day the Air Force Act became operative. 08th October is therefore observed as the Air Force Day. Significantly, the first batch of six Indian Cadets who were under training at Royal Air Force College, Cranwell, were also commissioned on this day. On 01 April 1933, the first Squadron of the Indian Air Force was formed with the raising of its 'A' Flight at Drigh Road, Karachi. The new formation consisted of Squadron Headquarters and one flight of four Westland Wapiti aircraft. Subroto Mukerjee with five other officers and 19 technicians, then known as Hawai Sepoys, formed the Indian complement. Flight Lieutenant (Later Air Vice Marshal) CA Bouchier, DFC, an RAF officer, was the first Commanding Officer. These were the pioneers of the Indian Air Force.
