'It means falcon,' he replies solemnly. 'Or bird of prey. Because I swoop down on the enemy planes just like a Baaz would.' Then he grins. The grey eyes sparkle. 'It's also short for bastard.' 1971. The USSR-backed India-Mukti Bahini alliance is on the brink of war against the America-aided Pakistani forces. As the Cold War threatens to turn red hot, handsome, laughing Ishaan Faujdaar, a farm boy from Chakkahera, Haryana, is elated to be in the IAF, flying the Gnat, a tiny fighter plane nicknamed 'Sabre Slayer' for the devastation it has wreaked in the ranks of Pakistan's F-86 Sabre Squadrons. Flanked by his buddies Raks, a MiG-21 Fighter, Maddy, a transport pilot who flies a Caribou, and fellow Gnatties Jana, Gana and Mana, Shaanu has nothing on his mind but glory and adventure - until he encounters Tehmina Dadyseth, famed bathing beauty and sister of a dead fauji, who makes him question the very concept of nationalism and whose eyes fill with disillusioned scorn whenever people wax eloquent about patriotism and war... Pulsating with love, laughter and courage, Baaz is Anuja Chauhan's tribute to our men in uniform."--Page 4 of cover. 610 10 $a India. $b Indian Air Force $v Fiction. 610 17 $a India. $b Indian Air Force. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00636442 650 0 $a Patriotism $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Patriotism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01055200 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a War fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922585 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191120031814.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4DC0F2BA462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
