Jai Jawan - 15 Paisa - (1966)

This stamp was issued to commemorate the armed forces on the first republic day after the 1965 War. The stamp, released on 26 Jan 1966 features a formation of three Gnats - all with their undercarraige doors half open! No doubt inspired by the now popular photo of the Gnat with the doors/air brake deployed.
