Mexican Revolution

[syscom3]

The "revolution" had an impact in America.

We sent an expeditionary force across the border to hunt down Pancho Villa, in which several officers were involved who would soon lead the US forces in WW1. The commander of the force was "Black Jack" Pershing. There were also several low ranking officers who would be in top positions in WW2

It was also the first time that airplanes were used by the US Army.

yeap the famous punitive expedition, and if i can remember right, there is a pic of john "black jack" pershing with the then unknown erwin rommel, i do not remember from what book is this pic or where i saw it,

but back to pershing, he never managed to get close to villa, there is a story in which villa captured one of the planes and flew it to pershing's camp and saluted from the air

Pershing with Rommel? Where was this picture taken?

i can not remember where or when i saw that pics, but in it they said that it was the then obscured erwin rommel, sorry it was many years ago!!!!

I dont believe that pancho villa was ever in an airplane. Nor do I believe that erwin rommel was in mexico then.

I too have not heard of that, if it is true, would be very interesting.
