Hmmm well i dont know too much about Vargas, but as ive heard he doesnt have a good reputation.

Maybe the expeditionary force was not impressive to someones cos they were fighting at the late war chasing the germans, but though noticed the mass german surrender they have acomplished.

But that fighter squad is very impressive.

"The Group had 350 men, including 43 pilots, and was sent to Panama for combat training, since the pilots already had flying experience — one of its pilots, 2º Ten.-Av. Alberto M. Torres, was the pilot of the PBY-5A Catalina that had sunk the U-199."

Wonderful...i hope i wont find this guy on my upcoming patrols in SH3

"The 1ºGAVCA flew a total of 445 missions, 2,550 individual sorties and 5,465 combat flight hours, from 11 November 1944 to 4 May 1945. The XXII Tactical Air Command acknowledged the efficiency of the Group by noting that, between 6 to 29 April 1945, it flew only 5% of the total of missions carried out by all squadrons under its control, but destroyed:

- 85% of the ammunition depots, - 36% of the fuel depots, - 28% of the bridges (19% damaged), - 15% of motor vehicles (13% damaged) and - 10% of horse-drawn vehicles (10% damaged)."

Quite good stats to my point of view.
