James Di Muzio was born on November 15, 1920, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He served in the 330th Bombardment Squadron, 93rd Bomber Group, as a Staff Sergeant and Gunner of the B-24D Liberator #41-23712 in World War II. Their airplane took off at 7:20 AM on October 29, 1942, with a crew of 12 on an operational U-boat patrol mission over the Bay of Biscay. They turned around at 11:30, but three hours later, due to heavy rain and poor visibility, their plane clipped Bossington Hill and crashed in the marsh at Porlock, England, killing 11 of the crew. SSgt Thorpe was the sole survivor.
