The UNKNOWN Brave PAKISTANI was given the name 8-Pass Charlie by the impressed indian adversaries of the Adampur Air Base in indian Punjab.
The Ace, 8-Pass Charlie is known to make the total number of 8 passes on the indian airbase and one pass is designated for one target at a time. The UNKNOWN 8-Pass Charlie Pilot dropped the bombs from the PAF B-57 Bomber with pinpoint accuracy at lower altitude instead of dropping the bomb load from a safe distance and getting away in the end.
The Brave unknown PAF Pilot was an expert in disguising his attack by cutting throttles before a dive which confused the indian aircraft gunners. As the indian aircraft gunner began to shoot at the possible location of the aircraft, the PAF Ace Pilot completes his ONE round over the indian airbase by taking precise target of the designated area.

The Daring PAF B-57 Bomber Pilot only dropped 500 lbs in each pass and completes the bomb load of 4000 lbs in 8 passes instead of dropping all the 4000 lbs bomb load at one time, which would allow a safer exit for the pilot to return home after bombing the indian air bases.

Respect from the indian Adversaries:
The Brave PAF ACE Pilot ‘8-Pass Charlie’ had impressed the entire crew and pilots of the indian Adampur Airbase. One of the coward indian pilot named Paddy Earle, paid a rich tribute to the UNKNOWN ‘8-Pass Charlie’ by saying,
“I have the utmost respect for the PAKISTANI Canberra bloke who loved to ruin the equanimity of our dreary lives! 8-PASS CHARLIE was an ace, but he had this nasty habit of turning up about 30 min. after moonrise, just as we were downing our first drink! Seriously, he was a cool dude and a professional of the highest order. To disguise the direction of his run, he used to cut throttles before entering a dive and by the time the ack-ack opened up he was beneath the umbrella of fire. After dropping his load he’d apply full throttle and climb out above the umbrella.”
