Pakistan Air Force

The logo of Pakistan Air Force based on the poetical verse of Allama Muhammad Iqbal’s poem “Shaheen-o-Mahi” from his Persian Book “Piyam-e-Mashriq” and showed the image of Shaheen which was the main theme of Khudi in his poetry.

Pakistan Air Force is the air arm of the Pakistan Armed Forces and is primarily tasked with the aerial defence of Pakistan with a secondary role to provide air support to the Pakistan Army and the Pakistan Navy. The PAF also has a tertiary role to provide strategic air transport and logistics capability to Pakistan.

A very rare old post card of Pakistan Air Force on which the Persian verse of Allama Iqbal can be seen with the logo.
