I, Gp Capt(R)Noel Moitra VM, am a retired fighter pilot with over 4,000 hours of operational flying, including two wars. I have flown every type of fighter and trainer aircraft that the Indian Air Force has, besides flying in France, the UK, USA, Germany, the USSR(1977,'86), Egypt, Israel and Japan. I have plenty of firsts to my credit, both flying related and academic. I hold an MSc
in Miltary History and a BBA.
I am also a professional editor, running three magazines post retirement('04-'07)and leaving it for greener pastures as Consultant to an
Israeli Aerospace Company. Since March this year, I edit articles online, write gratis for the IAF's Flight Safety Magazine and Coffee Table under a
nom de plume and for Academia Research at $16-18 a page.
