Sqn Ldr Mahinder Pujji DFC - Indian fighter pilot

Hi guys

He was among the first Indian pilots to reach England in October 1940, and trained as a fighter pilot. I believe he joined 32 Squadron in 1941 and claimed two Bf109s, but was also shot down twice (once crash-landing); by 1942/43 he was apparently in the Middle East, still on fighters, and eventually went to Burma flying Hurricanes, where he was awarded the DFC.

Can anyone provide details of his combats in 1941/42; and which squadron did he serve with in the ME?

Cheers
Brian
