"Flying through rain and storm, pilots of the Indian Air Force continue to take their full share with the Allies in beating the Japs on the Burma Front. In this theatre of war flying is more hazardous than anywhere else, and often the winds and storms are so severe as to be capable of tearing an aircraft apart. But our pilots have courage and skill to overcome all difficulties. Already fighter reconnaissance and dive-bombing squadrons of the I.A.F. have been in action in the Arakan and on the Assam-Burma front for many months. During the first six months they operated in increasing strength and made no less than 6,000 sorties and recorded 8,200 operational flying hours."

This poster features a collage of photographs depicting pilots of the I.A.F. carrying on the fight.
