Omar Dhani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General Omar Dhani, chief of the Indonesian Air Force Army from 1962 until 1966, was a left wing communist in Indonesia during the Sukarno era.
In his career on the Indonesian Air Force, Omar Dhani became the Minister of the Air Force in 1962. His support for Sukarno was not popular in Suharto's (the man who would betray the then President) mind. He was then arrested and sent to prison by the new government led by Suharto.[citation needed]
In 1995, he was excused from his political views and became one of the main sources for research into the Air Force's roles during the coup.
