PAF Vs India: The First Jet Shootdown | A Leaf in History

On an early Eid morning in 1959, an unauthorised Indian aircraft entered Pakistani airspace. Within hours, it was intercepted and shot down by the Pakistan Air Force. But why it entered Pakistan? Where was it headed? And did this single action risk triggering a wider conflict between India and Pakistan? In this episode of A Leaf in History, Pilot Officer and Air Defence Controller Rab Nawaz narrates the events of that day and the decision that established PAF's aerial superiority over India. ___________________________________ TCM’s journey since 2017 has been about telling stories that people want to hear, which mainstream media has been neglecting for decades.
