by Maggie Van Ostrand 5-11-07
Mexico organized the 201st Fighter Squadron, a select group of Mexican
pilots. Thirty-five officers and 300 enlisted men were trained in
Mexico, then given additional flight training as P-47 fighter squadron
at Pocatello Army Air Base in Idaho, and were then attached to the
58th Fighter Group in the Philippines where they began combat operations.
They wiped out machine gun nests, dropped 181 tons of bombs and
fired 153,000 rounds of ammunition, acquitting themselves well and
bravely. Seven of their pilots were killed in action...
