Defenders of a new republic - Pakistan Air Force
While conducting research for the PAF history books (Eagles of Destiny - links provided below), the authors came across a 16mm film in the US National Archives and had it digitized.
The film, shot during 1958-1959, contains excellent footage of PAF legends and their aircraft, including aerial shots of various planes such as T-6, T-33, Freighters, and formation after formation of Sabres! It also includes footage of historical significance, such as Sabres still in USAF markings being ferried to Mauripur, squash legend Hashim Khan with young PAF cadets, and Sargodha runway construction.
We have identified some of the PAF officers in the film with timestamps, but this is not complete and we will update if/when new data becomes available. We hope you enjoy the video.

Amazing documentary. We had just randomly seen a few scenes of the paf pilots boarding the sabres but this documentary showed to another level..
Time period?
1959
It was a different time. A new country. And excitement about the future! My father flew Mig 19s and F86s in the PAF and fought in both the 1965 and 1971 conflicts. I still remember the Shaheen cinema in Sargodha and some of the Mauripur (Masroor) base.
Great vintage film.
They even beated Israel in air combat
Truly epic to see such a vintage production, big salute! 🫡💯🎯🇵🇰
Pakistan airforce zindabaad ❤️❤️🇵🇰🇵🇰

70 years not much seem to have changed for the republic
Wow what a great heritage from PAF archives… there are shots of PAF Public Schools Sargodha and PAF Public School Lower Topa too… excellent upload. Proud to have been part of this great service of the motherland.
No other nation (May be Israel) prides its Airforce as much as we ..... #BORNPAF
So, have you forgotten the Iranian Air Force? Iran Air Force, Pakistan Air Force and Israel Air Force are among the best in the region. Iran Air Force had several famous and excellent operations during the war with Iraq, such as the attack on H3 or Operation Arc 99. I am an Iranian, I love my country, I hope Peace and prosperity for the two countries of Iran and Pakistan
