  First Commanding Officer, 1932 - 1935

  Quote - In 1959, Air Vice Marshal Sir Cecil Bouchier said "The Indian Air Force is what it is today because of one thing only - the imagination, courage, loyalty and great quality of the first little pioneer band of Indian officers and airmen, for they were the salt of the earth. They have built up a great fighting service and I am proud to have been associated in this wonderful achievement, if only for a little while". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snapper five ( talk • contribs) 13:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC) reply
