The Royal Air Force Museum ( RAFM, R.A.F.M)

On Sunday 22nd November we will be showing a documentary by Navdeep Kavola about Flying Sikhs in our Short Brothers Lecture Theatre at 2pm.

“Flying Sikhs – A History of Sikh Fighter Pilots” provides an intimate portrait of the Sikh pilots who contributed so valiantly to British success in World War I and World War II. T...he history of the Sikhs who flew in the Royal Flying Corps, the Royal Air Force and the Indian Air Force has been forgotten, yet their bravery was recognized widely by both the military and the public during the dark days of the Blitz and the brutal Japanese invasion from the East.

Drawing on interviews with the last remaining pilots, rare and personal archive materials, and unseen footage, Flying Sikhs pays testimony to the brave and selfless contributions these unsung heroes made to the war efforts across the world.

This viewing is free for members of the public to attend. However, we would ask that people reserve their place beforehand by emailing groups@rafmuseum.org or calling 020 8358 4849.
