  His story is one of the greatest wartime escapes by any Indian in any war fought by India.

  In the early part of the 1965 war with Pakistan, Dara Phiroze Chinoy, a 20-year-old Parsi from Mumbai and a young Flying Officer with the Indian Air Force found himself suddenly trapped behind enemy lines.

  On September 10, 1965, he was flying a French-built fighter-bomber out of the Adampur air base in Punjab. He was a rookie, having been commissioned just two years earlier. Then his unit was tasked to take out a Pakistani artillery position just across the border in

  Pakistan's Punjab. According to Chinoy, "There was a gun position harassing our Army and they had to keep their heads down. They were trying to cross theIchhogil canal but they couldn't because of these heave artillery guns which were keeping them down. We were supposed to destroy one of these targets located in

  South Pakistan." As they pulled up for the attack on the gun position, he felt a solid thud in the bottom of his aircraft and with his fighter jet on fire, Chinoy ejected.

  Floating to the ground with his parachute, he very nearly made an easy target. "On the way down, they were firing at me with rifles." As he landed, somehow escaping the gunfire from the rifles, the young pilot ran for his life. They chased him on jeeps and on foot but, fortunately, it was a sugarcane field with grass and sugarcane growing up to six feet high. So he managed to dodge them like a rabbit by heading North, keeping the, setting sun to his left. They expected him to head East. But the game was far from over. Chinoy realised that the only real opportunity to hot-foot it across the border and get into India would be under the cover of darkness.

  He waited for the sun to set, burnt all his authentication sheets and maps and removed all shiny objects. Alternating between running, jogging and walking for the next five hours, Chinoy was tired, his throat parched and his legs and back aching because of the force of the ejection he had undergone hours earlier. His greatest fear was that he would fall unconscious because of dehydration and whoever found his unconscious body would kill him first and ask questions later. Eventually, he regained his strength after finding a well where he drank to his heart's content. But there was hardly a moment to waste. Swimming across canals, some deep, and running some more, avoiding villagers and stray dogs along his hastily-improvised route, Chinoy came finally across what looked like the Amritsar Batala highway. Eventually, he returned to his Unit. Back at his base in Adampur in Punjab, Chinoy received a raucous welcome. And within days, he was back in the thick of action flying over Pakistan.
