About this ebook
Most of the Autobiographies are written by Top Ranking people with Top view of the organization they command. This book is however different that it is written by a person holding lower position and viewed from the bottom echelon of the organization.
All the characters in the book are absolutely real, with their correct names and locations. However, in a couple of places, the names are changed to avoid controversy. The change of name is clearly indicated wherever it occurs. There is no malice, and no intention to hurt anyones feelings. Still, if anyone feels hurt, please accept my apologies in advance.

Flight Lieutenant (Retd) Muniruddin Syed, VSM had joined the Indian Air Force as an Aircraft Apprentice in 1951. He was trained by the staff of Air Service Training, Hamble (UK), at The Technical Training College, IAF Bangalore. This institution was later renamed as Air Force Technical College. He worked as a Fitter Armourer on the Canberra aircraft of Nos. 5 & 16 Squadrons for the next 17 years. During this period, he also served under the UN flag in war-torn Congo. At home he saw action in Indo- Pak wars of 1965, and 1971. He had great zeal for original work to enhance the fire power of Canberra aircraft.

For his single handed achievements, he was awarded Rashtrapathi’s Vishisht Seva Medal on Republic Day, in 1969. Later, his contribution for preparing the country for war in East Pakistan (Bangladesh) earned him Commendation by the Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief, HQ Maintenance Command, IAF, in 1972.
