The Army held out there until their Emperor ordered the surrender. I have read that Mexican P-47s also did raids onto what is now Taiwan. Escuadron 201 the Aztec Eagles. http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=28282 Might have bombed the base I was at on Taiwan. It was just a dirt strip, but had been a Japanese airfield.
