He is said to have lived before as Lt James Huston Jnr, who was shot down by the Japanese in 1945.
A book about him, Soul Survivor, is a best-seller in the US and tells how he began to have dreams about the war as a two-year-old.
His parents Bruce, 59, and Andrea, 47, were initially sceptical about the idea of reincarnation but have now traced the relatives of the dead pilot who were impressed by James’s apparent memories of the war.
Mrs Leininger told the Mirror: "In the throes of his nightmares you couldn't work out what he was saying. But two or three months in, I was walking down the hall and I heard him saying, 'Airplane crash, plane on fire, little man can't get out.' "It chilled me to my bone hearing this.
"I asked him what happened to his plane and he said, 'It crashed on fire.' I asked how it crashed and he said the Japanese shot his plane.”
James said his boat was called the Natoma and he remembered the name Jack Larsen.
Flicking through a book the two-year-old pointed at a picture of Iwo Jima in the Pacific and said that was where his plane was shot down.
Mr Leininger found that just one pilot died during the battle of Iwo Jima, James M Huston Jnr, 21.
He was shot down on March 3, 1945, while on his 50th mission, his last before he was due to go home.

Thanks for the ping. Interesting that James Leininger doesn’t remember any of this now that he is eleven.
How do you account for increasing billions of souls?
How? Billions of souls from dead planets are looking for a new life giving planet and are finding their way here. Also, they have made the decision to live a physical existence and not return to Jesus and His Father in heaven.
Though punning aside, I've gotta have solid theoretical reason to believe, even in God, by His structure of the universe which already passes that test.
But again, the multiplicity issue of reincarnation seems a structural problem to that hypothesis.
One would rather think that God made us each one unique and individual, accountable for our own souls.
But, that's my interpretation anyway. And I'd like to interpret as much as I may. But, "If I knew Him I'd be Him," asserted Joseph Albo in the fifteenth century, which I also agree with overall.
(Hmm.... 'Causes me to consider some kind of verse built around "that".)
Baruch Hashem to You and Yours....
Very astute.
I was speaking in partial jest, but have heard stories of, the Navaho I believe, whose stories state that they came from another planet when it blew up.
As far as reincarnation, I believe it is possible, but that Jesus prefers us to come on home to him after we’ve lived out a mortal life here. And personally, I’d rather be working for him as an apprentice angel, than physically living here again.
