Autor

Santiago A. Flores was born in San Diego, California. He was raised and educated in the border town of Tijuana Baja California, Norte Mexico. He started to research Mexican Military Aviation in 1972, after he discovered how little information was available on the subject. He has published over 220 articles on Mexican aviation and other aviation subjects in aviation magazines, internet and facebook in Mexico and overseas and has given conferences on the subject in Mexico and in the United States. He served in the US Army completing three overseas tours to include Desert Storm 1991 and the later in Afghanistan in support of Coalition forces after 9/11. He has been recognized for his efforts to expand general knowledge of Mexican aviation history in 1999 with the Francisco Sarabia Conquistador del Cielo Medal during Aeroexpo 1999 at Acapulco, Mexico and in 2015 during the centennial of Military aviation by the Commander of the Mexican Air Force. He is currently living in San Diego California with his wife Gaby and his daughters Alison and Lorena.
