Flying Officer Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon, PVC (17 Jul 1945 – 14 Dec 1971)
Even though the airstrip of Srinagar airfield was damaged by the dreadful bombing and strafing by four F-86 Sabre jets of Pakistan Air Force (PAF), Nirmal Jit Singh Sekhon managed to lift up his Folland Gnat with one more comrade flying another jet. The latter however lost his track and didn’t participate in the air assault, but then 26-year-old Flying Officer Sekhon certainly blasted the hell out of the Sabres in miserable skies. One enemy aircraft was shot, another winged back to Pakistan; and his Gnat kept strafing one jet from behind while escaping machine gun fire from the fourth one, chasing his tail in the death spiral. Running out of ammunition, one Sabre escaped back whereas another was on the edge of giving up when his Gnat was shot down to his surprise by one of the two jets of an escorting team of PAF watching the combat from a distance away. Till the date, he is the only soldier of the Indian Air Force to be awarded with PVC.
