The Air Force Museum houses a rich collection of memorablia of Indian Military Aviation and displays the history of Indian Air Force. The museum showcases a photographic history of the Air Force from its early days in Risalpur (now in Pakistan) to the latest group photographs of the top echelons. Some models of aircrafts in use in the Indian Air Force and in other countries are also on display. There are photographs of Lt. (Hon G/C) H S Malik, Lt. S G Welingker, and Lt. I L Roy, who proved their mettle during the First World War in the Royal Flying Corps. The highlights at this museum are a wall showing the Roll of Honour - officers and men who laid down their lives in the Kashmir Operation of 1947, the Chinese Aggression of 1962, and the Indo-Pak conflicts of 1965 and 1971.
