The Legend of Hardit Singh Malik | Excerpt

Share

Lion of the Skies tells the unique story of the only Sikh airman to fly with the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Air Force during the First World War. It is the remarkable account of one man’s struggle to enlist, against discrimination, and of his service as a fighter pilot over the battlefields of Flanders.

Rich in historical and biographical detail, Lion of the Skies is the only detailed study of an Indian national enlisting in Britain’s armed forces during the First World War. At the same time, it is also an account of India’s role in the war, the challenges Indians faced in taking up the status of a commissioned officer in colonial Britain, and the rise of Indian nationalism.
