A College Baseball player, Costello entered military service in April 1942 with the Army Air Force. Initially assigned as a physical education director at Tampa, Florida, Costello later joined the 553rd Bomb Squadron of the 386th Bomb Group (a Martin B-26 Marauder group) and was sent to England as a transportation officer.



Second Lieutenant Costello was killed in an accident at Snetterton Heath Airfield, shortly after arriving in England on June 7, 1943. He is buried at Cambridge American Cemetery in England.
