« on: February 24, 2012, 02:26:23 AM »
For a short few months in 1945, the Mexican Air Force conducted operational missions in the Philippines in 1945.

It owuld be nice to find the worldwide commitments of the smaller nations (militarily) that contributed to Allied operations.  All of the nations that supported the Axis has been discussed over time.
