I think that Mexican pilots flew P-47's in the Phillipines. And I knew that Brazilian pilots had these in Italy.
But I have no idea whether either scored any air-to-air kills.
They may have flown entirely fighter-bomber missions.
Of the American countries, Argentina may have been most in sympathy with Germany, perhaps Paraguay. Many Nazis settled there after the war, I think.
