About me / Bio:
Miguel Moreno Arreola was a Mexican military pilot who served in World War II as part of the 201 Squadron, the only Mexican air unit that participated in the war. He flew 25 combat missions over Luzon and Formosa, piloting a P-47 Thunderbolt fighter. He was also the one who chose the Disney character Pancho Pistolas as the mascot of the squadron, and designed the monument in Manila that honors the fallen Mexican pilots. After the war, he became a commercial pilot and flew for 35 years, retiring as a captain of a DC-10 aircraft. He also gave presentations and lectures about the history and achievements of the 201 Squadron, until he died in a car accident in Mexico City in 2005. He was one of the last surviving members of the squadron, and a decorated hero of Mexico.
