East Pakistan Air Operations, 1971
East Pakistan Air Operations incorporate the interdiction, air defence, ground support, and logistics missions flown by the Indian Air Force in support of the advancing Indian Army (called Operation Cactus Lilly) and the Mitro Bahini in the eastern theatre during the Indo-Pakistani conflict of 1971. Although the first of the engagements between the opposing airpowers occurred before the formal declaration of hostillities, the events described below include only those conducted after the declaration of war.
