Muhammad Mahmood Alam () (known as M.M. Alam; 6 July 1935 – 18 March 2013) was〔Dawn Newspaper, ();〕 a Pakistani fighter pilot, an F-86 Sabre flying ace and one-star general who served with the Pakistan Air Force. Squadron Leader Muhammad Mahmud Alam, Commander of No 11 Squadron, was already a notable leader and highly experienced pilot in 1965, when he was awarded the Sitara-e-Jurat (''"The star of courage"''), a Pakistani military decoration, for his actions during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. Alam holds the record of having downed five Indian Air Force aircraft in less than a minute.
==Early life==
Alam was born on 6 July 1935 to a well-educated family of Kolkata, British India. Although born and raised in the Bengal region, Alam was not ethnically Bengali, contrary to common perception. Alam's family was of Urdu-speaking Bihari origin, having emigrated from Patna and settled in the Bengal province of British India for a long time. The family migrated from Calcutta to eastern Bengal which became East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) following the formation of Pakistan in 1947.〔 It was in East Pakistan, where Alam completed his secondary education, graduating from the Government High School in Dhaka in 1951. He joined the then RPAF (now PAF) in 1952, being commissioned on 2 October 1953.〔(Iconic war veteran MM Alam passes away ), The News International. Retrieved on 19 March 2013.〕 Alam's brothers are M. Shahid Alam, an economist and a professor at Northeastern University,〔Institute for Policy Research & Development, (Advisory Board ); (Dr. M. Shahid Alam )〕〔Cihan Aksan, ''State of Nature'', (On Islam: An Interview with M. Shahid Alam )〕 and M. Sajjad Alam, a particle physicist at SUNY Albany.〔Department of Physics – , (M. Sajjad Alam )〕
His family moved to West Pakistan in around 1971, after the secession of East Pakistan.〔 Being the eldest of his 11 siblings, Alam did not marry as he had to assume the responsibilities of the upbringing of his family. Some of his younger brothers became distinguished in various academic careers.〔
