Responsible for a remarkable three IAF kills while flying Hunters ... Mystere, Vantour and Mirage III ... !
Certainly is quite likely that he scored those victories (all admitted by the IDF/AF), which would be of course quite an impressive achievement (even the Israelis admitt that these raids against the Iraqi airbase of H3 were a disaster). But take into account that is not certain if he scored all of them, because the RJAF credits those same victories to Ihsan Surdom (later CinC of the RJAF in the 1980s), and the Iraqis credit them to one of theirs (I don't recall his name now).
Cheers,
