Squadron Leader Samar Krishna Dutt nicknamed "Charlie” was a fighter pilot who began his career flying Spitfires for Britain’s Royal Air Force in the Second World War. After India’s independence from Britain at “the stroke of midnight” on August 15, 1947, Dutt senior continued his career with the Indian Air Force for many years. Although ostensibly retired he vanished while on a covert mission over Pakistan in 1974. |
