72.ROCKETRIX

Abdul Kalam, the former President of India, recollects in his autobiography, his experiences of work at Langley research center, NASA, in Virginia, USA. At this research laboratory, he remembers to have seen a painting displayed prominently at the lobby. The painting depicted a battle scene with rockets flying on the background. Here, he says what caught his attention was that those who were firing the rockets were not white men but brownish people whose facial features were like that of Asians. What battle is he talking about?
