Wings of Jatayu Mohan Gopal Varkhedkar

Whenever I narrated my beautiful experiences of being Pilot in the Indian Air Force, having taken part in 1965 and 71 operations, done very hazardous and challenging flying in the Far- Eastern part of India to my friends, relatives, they were thrilled. Some of them thought that I was spinning the stories. However, those who were close to me insisted that I should write an autobiography. I am for one, not in favor of writing an autobiography, and I contend that biographies are mostly one-sided writings. These share authentic experiences or observations about persons and incidences that happened in the writer's life.
