B-25, P-47, Vultee Vibrator, Stearman, Lockheed Loadstar, off the top of my head were used by the Mexican AF for their WW2 defense. There ia a publication called Small Air Forces Observer that's printed several articles on the Mexican AF during WW2.....
 
From my presentation on the P-47, Mexico also had a unit that flew P-47s late in the war in the Pacific:

There may have been other units, I am not sure though.

I thought that they flew 59 missions and lost 5. Eithere way they flew P-47's in the Pacific and there aircraft had US markings on them except for Mexican airforce symbol on the right wing and the Mexican colors on the rudder. Later I believe all there aircraft removed the US markings.


The above info may be incorrect though, I am not saying that you are wrong even.

Below is a pic of a Mexican Airforce P-47 in WW2.
