[U-571]

Salute to the Man and the Pilot !

Bangladesh offered him to become Chief of BAF, but he refused saying "I dont know what Bangladesh is, I fought and will die for PAKistan". (as he is a Bangali) but look at what we did with him.... though Nation respects him as a HERO.

M.M Alam the man who married the sky.

the problem is, that guy is not bengali, he is urdu speaker, just like me

What a caption.

Oh he is a military expert...trust me he will explain you inside out of rafale & eurofighter too.
Ever since his carrer in PAF, books were his second passion after flying...he served as Defence Attache in Egypt in mid70s, then went to staff college and served as DCAS(Flt Saftey) during his last days of service.

A friend of mine asked him about his favorite fighter a/c...
The answer was F16 and F104, he consider Mirage as 'under powered'

BTW he and Air cdre Jamal(r) went to Fort Worth in 1982, to evaluate F16. MM Alam loved the aircraft, the fly by wire FCS impressed him alot.
He has 4 hrs in F16....later on PAF sent its six pilots to US for training on the type.

M.M. Alam studied in Calcutta. His origin is from the Indian state of Bihar, so he's not a Bengali. However, people who have stayed long in Calcutta become honorary Bengali .

he was a wing commander during 71 war.. Bangladesh never offered him that appointment dude. it is just a rumor.but he was offered to come to Bangladesh as a pilot. he was not a PAKKA Bengali but a half cast. he was only born in east pakistan.

during the partition air marshal fakhrul azam (F/O) flt lt saiful azam, the great ace became the air chief of bangladesh and MM alam sahab was only a wing commander. the maximum he could be offered would be a wing at that time. they cannot make a wing commander and air chief, when they already have higher ranks. and he retired as air commodore in 80s.. so he never actually reached the rank of AVM or AM..!

yes, a fearless guy. because he was short in stature, he was nicknamed 'peanut'. a guy who was lost in the cockpit and had nothing else to think of.!
