Section 4. Auxiliary Air Force

4. Auxiliary Air Force.- The Auxiliary Air Force allows the enrolment of civilian volunteers (including Government servants) to give them part-time Air Force training. This provides for the fighter Defence of the locality, in which its self-contained units and squadrons are raised. It may be looked at as the Territorial Army's air counterpart. Advisory Committees will be set up in big towns, where it is intended to locate the Auxiliary Air Force Squadrons to maintain close liaison with the civil side. These Committees will serve also as a link between the Auxiliary Air Force and the Indian Territorial, Army, and assist the Commanding Officers of the Units concerned to recruit civilian personnel. The period of service in the Auxiliary Air Force will normally be five years in the first instance.
