Damn shame, he had a great life with many accomplishments. It was also nice reading interviews he gave.

I didn't realize he released a book, will have to pick it up when I have the chance.

RIP.

 

R.I.P. Mahinder Singh Pujji!

 

Now, does anyone knows his actual number of victories? I couldn't find this anywhere, and the only reference is him saying "the day I shot down my first enemy..."

I think they misused the term flying ace in this article...
