Fg Offr OD Agnihotri did his BSc from Allahabad University before joining up in 1942. He was commissioned (IND/1991) in the Indian Air Force on 28 Mar 1943. OD Agnihotri served with No. 2 Squadron during the Second World War and took active part in Akyab / Ramree operations. In 1946 he left the IAF to take up a civilian flying career.
In 1948 he joined the Indian Railways and took active part in the Auxillary Air Force. He was with the Railways till his death in 1980.
In these pages, his son, Mr. Arun Agnihotri has contributed over 108 photographs from late Fg Offr OD Agnihotri's collection. There is also a PDF file download of a WW2 RAF Magazine. Many of the photographs in the 'WW2 Memorabilia' section have been taken by a professional photographer.
Clearly this is the largest ever personal WW2 photo collection till date on our website.
