The F-86 Sabre Jet, is presented in the 11th Squadron colors of the 
Pakistan Air Force by A.S. Durrani.

This plane (F-35-NA) was piloted by Squadron Leader Mohammad Mehmood 
Alam. Squadron Leader Alam emerged from the 1965 India-Pakistan War, 
as Pakistan's top scoring ace with 9 kills and 2 probables.

Squadron Leader Alam was the Commander of the 11th Squadron of PAF in
1965. He was a notable leader and a highly experienced pilot. He
also excelled in gunnery competitions - "a skill that no doubt contri-
buted to his becoming the first and only jet ace in one mission." He
established a combat record which has few equals in the history of jet
warfare. Although many pilots have scored several air victories in one
sortie, and have equalled or exceeded Alam's claim of shooting down 5
Indian aircraft of superior performance within a few minutes, but few
are likely to be able to match his record of destroying at least 3
opponents (Indian Air Force Hunters) within 30 seconds.

On September 6, 1965, Alam engaged a flight of Indian Hunters, over 
the battle lines. In the dogfight, he scored 2 kills. He was awarded 
the Sitara-i-Jurat (Medal of Courage). Then on September 7, he led an 
intercept mission against Indian Hawker Hunters that were attacking the
PAF airfield of Sargodha. When the 6 hunters broke after a final 
strafing pass on the field, Alam loosed a Sidewinder at their 
"tail-end Charlie". The missile found its target and blew the "hell out
of the Indian Hunters". Alam and his wingman, Flying Officer Masood 
Akhtar, lost sight of the other Indian Hunters at this point, but re-
ported them again after a few minutes. The Indian Hunter pilots saw the
Pakistani Sabres and all five broke left in a line-astern formation,
crossing in front of Alam's guns. Alam then performed a virtuoso, but
well-documented, feat of gunnery by shooting down 4 of the Indian Hunt-
ers in rapid succession. He was awarded a bar to his Sitara-i-Jurat. 
In action again on September 17, Alam bagged another brace of Indian 
Hunters to bring his final score to 9 confirmed kills and 2 probables.
