 Strike of the Aztec Eagles, by Jack Fellows
P-47 Thunderbolt fighters flown by the "Aztec Eagles" of the 201st Squadron of the Mexican Expeditionary Air Force attack a convoy of enemy trucks in central Luzon, the Philippines, in June, 1945. The squadron flew close air support missions, assisting American ground troops in the liberation of the Philippine Islands from the Japanese occupation in World War II. It was the first Mexican military force to serve outside of that country. Its participation in the war led to better relations between the U.S. and Mexico. Signed by the artist and 4 pilots of the Aztec Eagles.
