==== Indo-Pakistan War ==== Air Commodore [[Muhammad Mahmood Alam]] was an ace fighter pilot in the [[Pakistan Air Force]]. During the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965]], Alam claimed to have downed five aircraft in a single sortie on 7 September 1965 with four downed in less than a minute, establishing a world record. These claims, however, have been widely contested but never substantiated by Indian Air Force officials.<ref name="defencejournal">{{cite web|last=Air Cdre M Kaiser Tufail|author-link=Air Cdre M Kaiser Tufail|title=Alam's Speed-shooting Classic|url=http://www.defencejournal.com/2001/september/alam.htm|access-date=15 November 2011|publisher=Defencejournal.com|archive-date=27 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927040737/http://www.defencejournal.com/2001/september/alam.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="Fricker">{{cite book|last=Fricker|first=John|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RPttAAAAMAAJ|title=Battle for Pakistan: the air war of 1965|year=1979|pages=15β17|publisher=I.
