Mexican AF Colonel in the 97th BG

Hello to all

I am trying to track down information on Colonel P.A. Antonio Cardenas Rodriguez of the Mexican Air Force, who was a observer with the 97th (H) BG in North Africa in May 1943 (B-17 aircraft)
He reportedly arrived at the 97th BG with the blessing of General Doolittle around the 18 May 1943 and flew his first combat mission on the 21st and probably flew his three other on the 22, 24 and 25th of the month . Colonel Cardenas later reported to have flown in four bombing missions to Italy and Sicily.
Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance
Santiago
