Sepahbod Nader Jahanbani, Iranian General and the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Iranian Air Force, also known as the "Blue Eyed General" and the "Father of the Iranian Air Force", and Iran's most accomplished fighter jet pilot. Ironically, the barbaric Muslim regime that executed him in the wake of the disastrous 1979 revolution (he had numerous chances to flee the country but refused to leave his homeland) would have lost the Iran-Iraq war had it not been for his complete overhaul and modernization of the Iranian Air Force, which at the time, had become one of the top five air force programs in the world.
