Battle of Amritsar Radar  (English, Paperback, Mandeep Singh)

During the 22 day September War of 1965, India had a solitary Ground Control Interception radar in the Western Sector, a P-30(M) radar deployed near Amritsar. Realising its importance, Pakistan Air Force subjected it to repeated attacks, hoping to put it off the air. Defending it was an Air defence Battery equipped with 40mm L/60 Anti-Aircraft guns. It was the brave gunners, largely unfeted and uncelebrated, that stood between the Pakistan Air Force and their dream of a grand success. This is the story of the brave and valiant Air Defence Gunners and the Indian Air Force personnel that defended the radar, denying the Pakistan Air Force their grand prize.
