      In December 1971 Bangladesh was born. Its birthing was painful: it had suffered a brutal genocide conducted by its former countrymen from West Pakistan, and a war between the Indigenous Mukti Bahini (liberation army) and the Indian armed forces on one side, and the West Pakistani armed forces on the other. War broke out on the western and eastern fronts in December 1971 and ended quickly: the Pakistan Army surrendered in Dacca two weeks later. A significant factor in facilitating the Indian Army's progress to Dacca was the Indian Air Force (IAF), which neutralized the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), and provided deadly, timely and accurate firepower to support the Indian Army.

      Eagles Over Bangladesh: The Indian Air Force in the 1971 Liberation War, which covers the IAF's operations in the eastern sector, provides a day-by-day recounting of the IAF's activities, commencing with raids on Dacca on the first day of the war, and moving on to the final coup de grâce delivered on the Governor's House. This account of the 1971 air war, enriched by first-person descriptions from IAF pilots, will appeal not only to strategic experts, military planners and aviation enthusiasts, but also to the lay reader.
