My mistake, gentlemen!
I am very sorry of having posted that. I hate looking like an idiot but I have got to accept this time I did!
I watched a programme in the telly some two years ago about the most important days in Mexican history of the 20th century and there was mentioned May 28th 1942, the day mexico declared war on Axis powers. Because there were several ships sunk by U-boats in Mexiacn coasts. Those were:
“Potrero del Llano” sunk by U-564 Kapitänleutnant Suhren
“Faja de Oro” sunk by U-106 Kapitänleutnant Rasch
“Tuxpan” sunk by U-129 Kapitänleutnant Witt*
“Las Choapas” sunk by U-129 Kapitänleutnant Witt*
“Oaxaca” sunk by U-171 Kapitänleutnant Pfeffer
“Amatlán” sunk by U-171 Kapitänleutnant Pfeffer
*U-129 was attacked and damaged by Major Luis Noriega Medrano in an AT6 “Texan”
What I didn't remember was where exactly the squadron fought. It was two years ago, when I did not speak very good Spanish... beside there is my Alzheimer
After that the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force was created and its commander in chief was brigadier general Luis Alamillo Flores.
And then, you were right! Squadron 201 of MEAF was attached to Comabat Group 58 of USA's 5th Air Force. This squadron fought in the Phillipines, Formosa and very little in Okinawa.
What was right were the 11 enemy aeroplanes which were shot down and the 12 pilots who were killed.
Also, the squadron performed some 400 missions and flew a lot of hours.
I promise not to make any mistakes as big as that. But I was right in some things, didn't I?
