The Mexicans did fly some aircraft that were at storage at Davis-Monthan and may at the least have been able to get spares they needed to keep their planes going.
And there are refineries in the US going - even the one mentioned in Howling Wilderness as only being at 1 percent of capacity could still turn out a hell of a lot of fuel that planes need - and as pointed out previously what the military was running on was jet fuel not gas or diesel - so the issue of avgas is really only an issue for prop planes not for jets
and the latest issue of the fanzine had information on the aircraft in the Middle East - both canon (planes in East Africa) and a mix of canon and improvement on what there was that was stated in the RDF (Middle East)
