		The Indian Air Force was established as the Royal Indian Air Force by the passing of the Indian Air Force act on 8 October 1932.
		The Indian Air Force's Number 45 squadron quickly responded to the urgent call of air strikes against the Pakistani army and IAF Vampire FBMk.52s were successful in staggering the Pakistani thrust.
		Indian pilots currently graduate on the MiG-21 aircraft which is built solely for combat missions and not for training -a major reason for the deaths of 52 young IAF pilots in more than 100 air crashes over the past 6 years.

		The Indians around them were enraged at the colonists, the Colony's food supply was dwindling fast, and their government was not organized enough to enforce any kind of cooperation among the settlers.
		With the Bay Colony to Plymouth's north, and the ocean to the east, the Colony's primary direction of expansion was to the south in lands held by Wampanoag and Massasoit, or to the west in lands held by the Narragansetts.
		Indian raids did not stop, however, and in fact started coming closer to major towns, including an attack on the town of Scituate.

	THE CARIBBEAN RAID 1585-1586: Sir Francis Drake: A Pictorial Biography by Hans P. Kraus (Rare Book and Special ...
		This was the West Indies raid of 1585-1586, which showed that the Spaniards were almost as poorly prepared for defense on their Atlantic coasts as on the Pacific.
		The colonists, under their governor Ralph Lane, were suffering from conflicts with the Indians and stood in sore need of supplies which were to arrive, too late, with Grenville; so they preferred to accept Drake's humane offer of a passage home.
		Medina Sidonia refers to the Drake raid on the West Indies in his remarks on Cartagena; he states that galleys had been adequate for coastal defense before Drake's arrival, and their lack of success against Drake may have been the result of poor handling.

	Let the Games Begin: Casinos, cigarettes and Rhode Island : ICT [2003/08/25]
		The current dispute between the state government in Providence and the Narragansett Indians is not directly about gaming, but the issue of an Indian casino in Rhode Island is never far from the forefront.
		Most vehement among Indian gaming opponents was the Ocean State's former U.S. Senator John Chafee, who manifested his opposition in a very underhanded way.
		In addition to their complete lack of foresight regarding the financial opportunity a Narragansett casino would present to the fiscally ailing state, Rhode Island's anti-Indian casino officials appear to possess a lack of understanding of what it means to negotiate with another sovereign entity on a government-to-government basis.

		His Indian Ocean raid, on the British Eastern Fleet, was a success, with the sinking of a British aircraft carrier, two cruisers and two destroyers, causing Admiral Sir James Somerville to retreat to East Africa.
		Despite the successful raid, Nagumo was largely criticized for his failure to launch the third wave of attack against Pearl Harbor, which might had rendered the greatest American naval base in the Pacific useless.
		After Pearl Harbor, Nagumo was responsible for raids all across the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

		Ocean Fours/Holland departed May 27 from Atlantic Highlands NJ, planning to set a world record by rowing to the Scilly Islands (UK) in an 11.1 meter (34 ft) long boat in less then 55 days.
		Ocean rowing might well be the most under-estimated sea adventure: There are no support boats or high tech home teams following these boys - they are entirely on their own.
		Their 29 foot long boat will be faster than traditional ocean rowing boats because it has been designed with a radically streamlined hull that has a minimum wetted hull area.

		They had little to fear, since the primary target, Tokyo, was undergoing air raid drill and it was assumed the incoming planes were part of the test.
		If the High Command had any idea of how Doolittle's raid were the first of thousands of sorties to come to Japan, they would have begun building defenses much earlier.
		But it was not until late 1943, when the Allies began to acquire bases close enough to Japan to attack by air, that regular air raid drills were practiced.

		Leaders in the Indian Ocean region chose to ignore advances in plate tectonics and now their people are paying the price.
