The memoir My Air Force Days provides insight into the life of an Air Force officer and is written elegantly. M.K. The way Devidasan tells the story makes it a good read because it gives readers both technical information and personal insights.

From his time as an airman in the IAF in 1959 to his remarkable accomplishments as an officer and missile systems expert, this inspiring biography details his journey.
