&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't miss the section titled Day of Armageddon recapping the events of August 30, 1943. This air battle over Italy ultimately earned James the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was lucky to survive - many pilots made the ultimate sacrifice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See photos, letters, mission reports and more about James' time spent in combat over Africa and Italy in 1942 and 1943.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Typically pilots rotated home after their 50th mission. James took off for his 49th mission on Septemebr 9, 1943, and never returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was shot down on a straffing run near the town of Padula, Italy. Initially there was much confusion amongst the other P-38 pilots, and it was thought James survivied and may have been taken prisoner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ultimately it was discovered that James had been shot down and then killed by German soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was ultiamtely brought home and buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery in Middleville, Michigan. See information on his gravesite at &lt;a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/40312090/james-p-dibble" target="_blank" title="James P.

They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:

                  <text>Getting letters from home was always a highlight of the week for everyone overseas. They wrote home frequently as well as evidenced by the volume of James' letters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is a collection of letters and postcards he sent home to his wife Maxine, brother Bill and parents while serving in Africa and Italy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be sure to look at the letter dated 1943-04-10. Notice how James indicated he censored his own letter and look at the special form he had to use to send it home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notice on other letters where they are stamped whether they were censored or not. Like most others, James had to be careful not to divulge too much information about where he was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;James was killed on September 9, 1943. Be sure to read his last letter home, sent the day before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:
