Bio:

Died 29 Feb 1944 in Mediterranean Sea.
On February 29, George was last seen departing the base on a mission to Gaeta when he suddenly turned back to the base. He was never seen again. It is presumed that he crashed into the Mediterranean Sea. In late March, the papers reported that 2nd Lt. George McCrumby was wounded with some information indicating that he was missing in action at that time. [5]

George's official date of death is listed as July 15, 1945. His name is engraved on the Tablets of the Missing at Sicily-Rome American Cemetery. His remains have never been recovered.
