Mexican Forces

Escuadron 201

The 201st Fighter Squadron was commended by General Douglas MacArthur, but the FAEM was disbanded after returning from the Philippines. Escuadrón 201 is still an active duty squadron, flying the Pilatus PC-7 from Cozumel, Quintana Roo, and saw extensive counter-insurgency service during the 1994 uprising in Chiapas. The squadron was the subject of the Mexican film Escuadrón 201, directed by Jaime Salvador and released in 1945.
