Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas was just 20 when he became the youngest to receive Pakistan's highest military honor, the Nishan-e-Haider. This award was given to him posthumously due to his remarkable bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. Born on February 17, 1951, Rashid embraced martyrdom on August 20, 1971. In an act of courage, he crashed his aircraft to stop a defecting instructor from hijacking it to India. Remarkably, he remains the sole recipient of this award in the Pakistan Air Force.
