Stinson was a 24-year-old flight engineer when his B-24J Liberator bomber was shot down near Palau, a grouping of islands in the South Pacific.
Divers from a nonprofit organization located the wreckage in 2004 and the family was alerted earlier this year that the DNA of Stinson's two surviving brothers matches DNA in some leg bone fragments found at the crash site. Stinson will be buried Friday at Riverside National Cemetery.
