Question: Flying Officer Dinshaw Edulijee received the AFC from what auxiliary air force of the British Empire?
Context: No 3 (Royal Auxiliary Air Force) Police Squadron formed as a consequence of the assumptions made in the Strategic Defence Review, presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Defence (then the Rt.  Hon. George Robertson MP) in July 1998.  Specifically, this recognised that deployed air operations are likely to take place at the end of a long supply chain or line of communication.  Control of this line of communication ia a task which falls to the service military police organisations: The Royal Air Force Police and the Royal Military Police.  To undertake this expanded task, the establishment of the RAF Police was increased by a number of both regular personnel and reservists.  After a study, it was decided that the most effective way for the reservists to be formed was as members of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force.  These personnel would then be integrated with the existing Tactical Police and Security Squadron to form Tactical Police Wing.  Recruiting for 3 (Royal Auxiliary Air Force) Police Squadron, began in earnest in October 2002. The Indian Air Force (IAF; : "Bhāratīya Vāyu Senā") is the air arm of the Indian armed forces.  Its complement of personnel and aircraft assets ranks fourth amongst the airforces of the world.  Its primary mission is to secure Indian airspace and to conduct aerial warfare during armed conflict.  It was officially established on 8 October 1932 as an auxiliary air force of the British Empire which honored India's aviation service during World War II with the prefix "Royal".  After India gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1947, the name Royal Indian Air Force was kept and served in the name of Dominion of India.  With the government's transition to a Republic in 1950, the prefix "Royal" was removed after only three years. No. 613 (City of Manchester) Squadron was an Auxiliary Air Force later Royal Auxiliary Air Force squadron formed on 1 February 1939 at the then new municipal airport at Ringway, nine miles south of Manchester.  The squadron served at first in the army cooperation role, and later during the Second World War became a tactical bomber unit.  After the war the squadron reformed as a fighter unit and as such flew until its last disbandment in March 1957. No 605 Squadron was formed as an Auxiliary Air Force Squadron.  Initially formed as a bomber unit, it was one of the most successful participants of the Battle of Britain.  It also had the distinction of being active during the Second World War at two fronts at a time, when the squadron was split up between Malta and the Dutch East Indies.  In its last incarnation as an active flying unit, the squadron served as the first jet fighter unit in the post-war Royal Auxiliary Air Force; 616 having already flown Gloster Meteors during the war.  No. 605 Squadron was reformed as a RAuxAF Logistic Support Squadron on 1 Nov 2014.  Reservist recruitment commenced on 30 May 2015. No. 614 Squadron was originally formed on 1 June 1937 as an army co-operation squadron unit of the Auxiliary Air Force.  It served during the Second World War first in this role and later as a bomber squadron.  Upon reformation it served as a fighter squadron until the disbandment of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force on 10 March 1957. The Royal Auxiliary Air Force (RAuxAF), formerly the Auxiliary Air Force (AAF), together with the Air Force Reserve, is a component of Her Majesty's Reserve Air Forces (Reserve Forces Act 1996, Part 1, Para 1,(2),(c)).  It provides a primary reinforcement capability for the regular service, and consists of paid volunteers who give up some of their weekends, evenings and holidays to train at one of a number of squadrons around the United Kingdom.  Its current mission is to provide trained personnel in support of the regular RAF.  Queen Elizabeth II is Air Commodore-in-Chief of the RAuxAF. No. 615 (County of Surrey) Squadron was a unit of the British Auxiliary Air Force and later the Royal Auxiliary Air Force between 1937 and 1957. No. 607 (County of Durham) Squadron is an auxiliary squadron of the Royal Air Force.  It was formed in 1930 as a bomber unit in the Auxiliary Air Force and changed in 1936 to the fighter role.  It fought in that role during the Second World War in Europe and Asia.  After the war, the squadron reformed as a fighter unit of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, disbanding with all the other flying units of the RAuxAF on 10 March 1957.  It reformed on 5 January 2015, as a General Service Support Squadron (GSS). Flying Officer Dinshaw Ferozeshaw Eduljee (1919–1944) was the first pilot of the Indian Air Force, IAF, to receive the Air Force Cross, AFC (on June 1, 1944).  Eduljee is presumed to have died after the Hurricane fighter aircraft he was flying crashed in action behind Japanese lines in Burma (today's Myanmar).  The circumstances and time of his death are not known. No. 616 (South Yorkshire) Squadron was a unit of the British Auxiliary Air Force and later the Royal Auxiliary Air Force between 1938 and 1957.
