It is indeed noteworthy that the ‘SP Guide Publications’ is bringing out a special edition of SP’s Aviation to commemorate the Independence Day. Over the last six decades, SP Guide Publications has rendered extraordinary service in the field of military journalism.

On behalf of all personnel of the IAF, I extend my warmest Independence Day greetings to every citizen of our country. As we celebrate 76 years of Independence, we acknowledge with gratitude the immense contribution made by our great leaders and freedom fighters who made the dream of independent India a reality. This day is an occasion to renew our commitment towards nation building and pledge to work towards a strong and prosperous India.

Over the years, Indian Air Force has demonstrated unrivalled adaptability and resilience and has grown by leaps and bounds to become a potent and an effective fighting force. As Chief of the Air Staff, I assure the country that we are fully prepared and unwavering in our resolve to protect the Nation’s sovereignty and integrity at all costs.

I convey my compliments to all members of the ‘SP Guide Publications’ and wish them continued success in the years to come.
