1942年4月18日，美国飞行员詹姆斯·马西亚在执行杜立特行动后于江西上饶跳伞，被当地村民救援1。詹姆斯·马西亚是14号机组的领航员兼投弹手，降落在江西上饶广丰区吴村镇1。杜立特中校率领的这次行动共出动16架B-25轰炸机突袭日本本土，75名机组人员在江西、浙江等地弃机跳伞或迫降1。最终64名美军飞行员被中国军民成功营救脱险1。
84年后的2026年10月，托马斯·马西亚携带父亲的降落伞残布重返上饶1。美国杜立特突袭者子女协会的6名代表于10月9日抵达上饶，开启为期六天的寻访活动1。10月10日，托马斯·马西亚在上饶市博物馆向该馆捐赠了父亲的降落伞残布1。这次返回源于托马斯对历史的执着追寻——自2018年第一次来到上饶寻访参与救援的村民后代以来，他与罗时平在此后8年间互通邮件千余封1。这段中美民间友谊故事承载着二战时期的救援奇迹，但也见证了历史的沉痛——日军随后发动浙赣战役报复，造成25万中国平民遇难1。
On April 18, 1942, American pilot James Massey participated in the Doolittle Raid against Japan and parachuted into Wucun Township, Guangfeng District, Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, where he was rescued by local villagers 1. Eighty-four years later, in October 2026, his son Thomas Massey returned to Shangrao carrying the remnants of his father's parachute to donate this historical artifact to a museum and retrace the extraordinary rescue and Sino-American civilian friendship story from this World War II chapter 1.
The Doolittle Raid, led by Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle, deployed 16 B-25 bombers to strike Japanese territory on April 18, 1942 1. Following the mission, 75 aircrew members abandoned their aircraft and parachuted or crash-landed across Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and other regions 1. James Massey served as the navigator and bombardier of the 14th aircraft 1. A total of 64 American pilots were successfully rescued by Chinese military personnel and civilians 1. In retaliation, Japanese forces launched the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 250,000 Chinese civilians 1.
Thomas Massey first visited Shangrao in 2018 to locate descendants of those who aided his father's rescue 1. His correspondence with local resident Luo Shiping spanned over eight years and encompassed more than one thousand letters 1. On October 9, 2026, six representatives of the Doolittle Raiders' Descendants Association arrived in Shangrao for a six-day visit 1. On October 10, 2026, Thomas Massey donated his father's parachute remains to the Shangrao Municipal Museum 1.
