The sixth death anniversary of national hero MM Alam is being observed today.
In September 1965, MM Alam had encountered Indian war jets at three different points.
In less than a minute, five military jets of the Indian Air Force were downed one after another by Alam as he hit targets flying his Seber-86 jet.
The precision and craft with which he carried the strikes continue to startle the air force soldiers to this day.
