Vijay Srinivas Karnik is a retired Wing Commander from the Indian Air Force who is known for his leadership during Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. During the war, he was in charge of the Bhuj airbase. During the course of the war, the Bhuj airstrip was destroyed in air strikes in which Pakistani bombers dropped napalm bombs. The Bhuj airport attack has been compared to the Japanese Attack on Pearl Harbor by some. The airfield was raided 35 times in 14 days with attacks by 92 bombs and 22 rockets. Karnik rebuilt Bhuj Airport within 3 days with the help of 300 women from local areas.
