THE FIRST ENCOUNTER
0525 HOURS, 6 SEPTEMBER 1965

Dawn over Wazirabad. Flight Lieutenant Aftab Alam Khan in an F-104A Starfighter destroys a Mystere IV and damages another, to mark the start of the India-Pakistan war. India launched the war over West Pakistan with an attack by a formation of four Mystere IV aircraft. The Mysteres crossed the international border to attack a Pakistani train near Wazirabad. Flight Lieutenant Aftab Alam Khan was on a routine morning combat air patrol in the Chamb/Mangla area. He was directed by the Controller at Sakesar, Flight Lieutenant Farooq Haider, to intercept the intruders. First contact with the enemy was made as the F-104 passed head on through the Mystere formation. In the ensuing combat at tree top level, he skillfully outmanoeuvred the opponents to destroy one Mystere and damage another. The remaining members of the formation managed to slip away in the poor light conditions, only to tell the tale of the "dreaded F-104 and the deadly Sidewinder". Apart from being the first encounter to start the war in earnest, the engagement was also significant in other respects. It marked a new era of dog-fighting at very low altitude. It was also the first combat kill by any Mach-2 aircraft, and the first missile kill for the Pakistan Air Force.

PATHAMKOT STRIKE
1705 HOURS, 6 SEPTEMBER 1965

8 F-86Fs of No 19 Squadron led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider struck Pathankot airfield. With carefully positioned dives and selecting each individual aircraft in their protected pens for their strafing attacks, the strike elements completed a textbook operation against Pathankot. Wing Commander M G Tawab, flying one of the two Sabres as tied escorts overhead, counted 14 wrecks burning on the airfield. Among the aircraft destroyed on the ground were nearly all of the IAFs Soviet-supplied Mig-21s till then received, none of which were seen again during the War. Tied escorts consisted of Wing Commander M G Tawab (later Air Marshal and air chief of Bangladesh Air Force) and Flight Lieutenant Arshad Sami while the strike elements were led by Squadron Leader Sajjad Haider with Flight Lieutenants M Akbar, Mazhar Abbas, Dilawar Hussain, Ghani Akbar and Flying Officers Arshad Chaudhry, Khalid Latif and Abbas Khattak (later Air Chief Marshal and CAS, PAF) in his formation.

SQUADRON LEADER ALAUDDIN AHMED a.k.a 'BUTCH' (SHAHEED)

One of the most influential of the paf pilots. Sqn Ldr Alauddin nicknamed 'Butch' was a fearless pilot. His squadron attacked the heavily guarded trains at gurdaspur and destroyed large amount of supplies to the IAF. While doing a low level dive his sabre was hit by a sharpenel from an exploding train. He ejected from his aircraft but was shot in mid air. As said by Sqn Ldr Sajjad 'Nosey' Haider "If he would have made it to the ground, no one on earth could have stopped him from reaching Pakistan". He was awarded the Sitara-e-Jura't.

When the father of Shaheed Faiz Sultan was informed on telephone, he (the father) remained cool and composed and said
'' If the bullets are in his back, then bury him there, and, if in front then send his body here and I will bury him ''
