What personality traits
of Arjan Singh are
mentioned here ?
Air Force Marshal Arjan Singh, an icon of India's
military history, will always be remembered as a war
hero who had successfully led a young IAF during the
1965 Indo-Pak war.
The only officer to attain the highest post of
Marshal, the Air Force equivalent to the Army's five
star field marshal, Singh was a fearless and exceptional
pilot who had flown more than 60 different types of
aircraft.
He played a major role in transforming the IAF
into one of the most potent air forces globally and
the fourth biggest in the world. "His contribution to
the Indian Air Force is monumental to the least. The
IAF grew with him. He was the epitome of military
leadership in classical sense and it is, therefore, not
surprising that he was honoured with the rank of Air
Force Marshal." former Vice Chief of IAF Kapil Kak
said.
Singh was honoured with the rank of Marshal
on the Republic Day in 2002. Sam Hormusji Framji
Jamshedji Manekshaw and K M Cariappa were the
only two army generals honoured with the rank of field
marshal.
Known as a man of few words, Singh was not
only a fearless pilot but also had profound knowledge
about air power and applied it in a wide spectrum of
areas. Singh had assiduously led the IAF during the
1965 war and denied success to Pakistani air force
though it was better equipped with American support.
"His most outstanding contribution was during that
wan" said Kak.
Commending his role in the war, Y B Chavan, the
then Defence Minister had written: "Air Marshal Arjan
Singh is a jewel of a person, quite efficient and firm;
unexcitable but a very able leader."
In 1944, the Marshal had led a squadron against
the Japanese during the Arakan Campaign, flying
close air support missions during the crucial Imphal
Campaign and later assisted the advance of the Allied
Forces to Yangoon (formerly Rangoon).
