                <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. Dibble's Gravesite" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;FindAGrave.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See reports, documents and letters around James' missing in action status and then the determination that he was killed in action. Included are letters from the Army to his wife Maxine and parents, newspaper clippings and local memorials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jump to other sections of the collection:
