No. 8 Squadron, Indian Air Force (Pursoots) were formed in 1943 at Trichinopoly (now Tiruchirapalli) and were trained at Peshawar and Bhopal. On 2 December 1943, they were moved to Doublemooring in Chittagong (now in Bangladesh) to work closely together with No. 82 Squadron RAF in the Burma Campaign.
