Military film ‘Show Down at Sunset’ based on Indian Air Force (IAF) was screened here on Tuesday at Shaurya Smarak.
The film was screened under the regular film screenings of Shaurya Smarak.
The film was produced by Krishna Kumar Garg under Films Division of India. It was directed by Akhilesh Gurha. The entire film is based on the duties and responsibility of Indian Air Force.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is the air arm of the Indian armed forces. Its complement of personnel and aircraft assets ranks fourth amongst the airforces of the world.
Its primary mission is to secure Indian airspace and to conduct aerial warfare during armed conflict.
It was officially established on October 8, 1932, as an auxiliary air force of the British Empire which honored
India’s aviation service during World War II with the prefix Royal.
After India gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1947, the name Royal Indian Air Force was kept and served in the name of Dominion of India. With the government’s transition to a Republic in 1950, the prefix Royal was removed after only three years.
How the soldiers protect common people and their plannings are shown in the film.
