Fazael Tadayon (Persian: فضائل تدین; 1908 – 7 February 1976) was a full general at the Pahlavi Iran's air force[1] and served as the chief of the staff of the Imperial Iranian Air Force. He was made the commander of the air force on 13 September 1975 replacing Mohammad Amir Khatami who died a day before in a kiting accident.[2][3] Tadayon's tenure was brief and lasted until 1976 when he was killed in a helicopter accident.[4] He was succeeded by Amir Hossein Rabii as the chief of Imperial Iranian Air Force.[4]
