7 June, 1967
Flight Lieutenant Saiful Azam, PAF, destroys an Israeli Mirage in Iraq. The painting shows his second encounter with Israelis in the Middle East, in which he is shown despatching one of the Mirages that were escorting the Israeli Vatour bombers. Moments later, he shot down one of the two escaping Vatour bombers, seen in desert camouflage flying at low altitude in the background. Two days earlier he had shot down an Israeli Super Mystere over Mafrak Air Base, Jordan. The officer was decorated with gallantry awards after the war both by Jordan and Iraq. He had already earned Sitara-i-Jurat during the 65 war when he shot down an Indian Gnat.
