Pakistan eventually purchased 102 F-86F Sabres and began to receive the Sabres in 1954. On September 1965 during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 Sqn Leader, Commander No.11 Squadron Modhammed Mahmood Alam became an ace within one minute when he downed five Indian Air Force Hawker Hunter fighters in one minute. For this action he was awarded theSitara-e-Jurat "The star of courage". During the 1965 war he is credited with nine victories of which six were Hawker Hunters. In 1982 Modhammed Mahmood Alam retired as an Air Commodore. Designed to meet a USAAF requirement for a day-fighter/escort fighter/dive-bomber, the F-86 was first flown on October 1st, 1947. The Sabre's swept-wing "flying tail" configuration and a hydraulic flight-control system were some of its many firsts in technology and design that have now become standard for jet-powered aircraft. Armed with six 50 caliber machine guns, the F-86 saw extensive action in the Korean War, where it was often pitted against the MiG-15. The Sabre pilot had to be in visual contact and within gun range of the enemy in order to attempt a shoot-down, thereby making this aircraft the last true "dogfighter" in Air Force inventory. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
