Blake, Mike ARMIES OF THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION: Uniforms, Equipment & Weapons of the Armed Forces in Mexico 1910-20
Gathers information from disparate sources to describe and illustrate the armed forces of Mexico during the revolution, including their organization, uniforms, clothing, equipment, and weapons. Includes full-page color plates and selected photographs (many published for the first time).
Appearing for the first time were motorcycles, motor trucks, armored cars and the new air power - all made their first tentative appearances. The machinegun played a significant role for the first time in non-colonial warfare, heralding how it would come to dominate future battlefields. Alongside these, wired and wireless communications, barbed wire, searchlights, and trenches established their place on the battlefield in the Mexican Revolution. 1 vol, 240 pgs

Flores, Santiago DECADES OF REBELLION: Mexican Military Aviation in Action, 1920s-1940s
Discusses air operations over Mexico 1910-1939, when Mexican military aviation saw rapid growth and intense involvement in multiple rebellions, internal strife, and operations against armed banditry. Mexican military aviation helped defeat several armed uprisings - often by little more than the strong psychological impact upon the insurgents and the civilian population. Rather unsurprisingly, in at least one instance, an armed rebellion sought to obtain aircraft and recruit mercenary pilots to counter the federal air service. Includes 130 photos, 8 maps, and 18 color profiles. 1 vol, 80 pgs
