These Mexican Air Force pilots flew for the USAAF and fought the Japanese in the PTO.
Mexico formally declared war on the Axis Powers in support of the Allies on 22 May 1942, following losses of oil ships in the Gulf of Mexico, most notably the Potrero del Llano and the Faja de Oro, to German submarine attacks. After its declaration of war, Mexico was active in convincing other Latin American states to support the allies.
