Very good film about your (Ahmer's) late father, (Air Commodore Raza) and his contributions towards the nascent air force and his dedicated hard work in making it an efficient combat force by ensuring top class maintenance of all weapon systems of PAF. One of the few engineering officers whose contributions would be long remembered and cherished for times to come. Such were the people who laid the strong foundation for a strong and combat effective air force.
