"Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)" is a protest song with lyrics by Woody Guthrie and music by Martin Hoffman detailing the January 28, 1948 crash of a plane near Los Gatos Canyon, [1] 20 miles (32 km) west of Coalinga in Fresno County, California, United States.
The crash inspired the song "Deportee" by Woody Guthrie. [1] Some of the passengers were being returned to Mexico at the termination of their bracero contracts, while others were undocumented immigrants being deported. Initial news reports listed only the pilot, first officer, and stewardess, with the remainder listed only as "deportees."
However as late as 1925 the course of Los Gatos Creek east of the Guijarral Hills was referred to as Arroyo Pasajero on a USGS Topographic map of Coalinga. [7] Los Gatos Creek is remembered as the site of a plane crash in 1948 which was the subject of a song by Woody Guthrie, "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)".
