First you better learn how to speak in this forum.
Second:
He was born July 6, 1935 in Calcutta, British India. He is popularly known as "M.M. Alam" and nicknamed little dragon.
Alam was the first commanding officer of the first squadron of Dassault Mirage III fighters procured by the PAF. However he was not very popular with the top management of the PAF and was shortly removed from command, on the excuse that he was not "literate enough"[4]
During the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, all personnel who were of Bengali origins or were born in Bengal were grounded to prevent any defections. Thus, Alam was posted on a staff job and did not fly in combat. M.M. Alam retired in 1982 as an Air Commodore and currently resides in Karachi. One of the roads of Gulberg in Lahore is named after him as M. M. Alam road. His brother M. Shahid Alam is an Economist and a professor at Northeastern University, Boston. His brother M. Sajjad Alam is a particle physicist at SUNY Albany and is responsible for discovering over a dozen particles. More notably, his son, Nadeem played 3 Test Matches for Pakistan in 1989.
By the way Calcutta is a capital of Bengal.

Regards,
What is shown on you tube that is not how he shot the planes he didn't chase any like they said. Second MM is not Bangali he is barahi.
He did fly in 71 but didn't take part in any combat. Why I am saying I wrote an article about him and me flying in 71 doing Dog fights in Sargodha. you can go back on my threads and look for it.
Most people say that why Didn't PAF put there best against PAF , They did all the pilots were vets of 65 and we needed a master of war to coordinate the attacks.
MM was sent to AHQ as DD Operations and was running the whole show.
Hatimi and cecil are not Aces.
