Air Cavalry Rescues Two River Pilots in Mexican Standoff
In August 1919 American air patrols near the Texas Mexico border chased bandits who kidnapped two river pilots after mistaking the Rio Conchos for the Rio Grande. Capt. Leonard Matlack arranged a ransom exchange, the pilots escaped, and four Mexicans were executed amid disputed blame. A later probe found the bandit leader Gacho alive in a cantina.
