Timeline

1926

Air Commodore Patrick Desmond Callaghan (16 July 1926 – 6 April 1992) was a one-star air officer in the Pakistan Air Force who is credited for his pioneering work in flight safety in Pakistan.

1945

He was commissioned into the Royal Indian Air Force (RIAF) as a pilot officer on 17 September 1945.

1946

Early in his commissioned service, he was posted to the RIAF base at Kohat in 1946.

He flew a variety of aircraft including Spitfires.

In 1946, Callaghan belly landed his aircraft at Kohat airfield.

The aircraft's engine had caught fire after an oil leak during landing practice.

1947

The aircraft was later written off in 1947.

At the Partition of India in August 1947, he opted to serve with the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), and later married Maureen Viegas, whose sister, Jeanne, would later marry Mervyn Middlecoat, who went on to command the PAF's famed No. 9 Squadron and become a hero of the PAF.

1951

On 1 September 1951 a PAF two-seater Fury aircraft caught fire.

Flight Lieutenant Callaghan was the second pilot on that flight.

One of the pioneer officers of the PAF, Callaghan served for a number of the early years of the PAF as a flight instructor at Risalpur, where he helped to train many of the PAF's future leaders and top fighter and bomber pilots (including his brother-in-law by marriage, Mervyn Middlecoat).

1965

During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, although a "desk jockey" in Peshawar, he volunteered for and flew dangerous low, low-level, night-time strafing missions in old Harvards along the Grand Trunk Road between Lahore and Amritsar harassing Indian Army convoys.

Years later, as a group captain, he led the PAF team that investigated the crash of a PAF C-130 after it went missing while returning to Pakistan from China.

This investigation was conducted at high altitude in mountainous country and was particularly trying and hazardous.

1969

By 1969 he had risen through the ranks of squadron leader and wing commander, working in staff jobs in Kohat and Peshawar, after earlier being based at Mauripur.

1971

In 1971, Air Commodore Callaghan was the PAF Chief Inspector, in charge of the verification of Pakistani claims of enemy aircraft kills.

Working closely with him was the then-United States air attache/adviser to the PAF, USAF Brigadier General Charles "Chuck" Yeager (the first man to break the sound barrier).

After retiring from the PAF, Air Commodore Callaghan headed the Air Safety Branch of the Department of Civil Aviation and his internationally recognized expertise in investigating and solving the causes of air crashes led to his call out by a number of Arab countries to help them solve a number of crashes in their countries.

1992

Callaghan died in April 1992 at the age of 65.
