In a country where the political class often pays lip service to the memory of our war vets, there are some who genuinely walk the talk.Air Marshal Anil Chopra, a retired fighter pilot and former Commander of the Indian Air Force's 1 Squadron has told NDTV that he is willing to pay Rs. 20 lakh from his personal pension fund to bring back the Distinguished Flying Cross of Wing Commander KK (Jumbo) Majumdar, a World War 2 hero considered the Father of the Indian Air Force. Air Marshal Chopra once commanded 1 Squadron (now flying Mirage 2000 fighters), the same squadron that Jumbo Majumdar served in with distinction.
