Sqn Ldr | Devaiah Subia | 1866 GD(P) | Award Date 20 Sep 1948 | Announced 26 Jan 1950 |
Details : | Squadron Leader (Now Group Captain) Daviah Subia (1866) always showed great courage and fortitude whilst operating over the Jammu and Kashmir area. By example and excellent leadership, he inspired all his Squadron Pilots. All his sorties were marked fro pressing home the attack, despite all odds. He flew over 70 sorties in a period of a month and a half, often operating under adverse conditions and from difficult airfields. It was partly due to this officer’s courageous and relentless attacks that the resistance of the enemy at Gurais broke down. The excellent air operations conducted by this officer largely contributed towards the successful capture of Gurais eventually by our land forces. He proved himself to be an extremely capable leader and was thus a source of encouragement and inspiration to all his Squadron pilots. For the outstanding services rendered by him during the Kashmir Operation, he has been awarded the Vir Chakra. | |||
