Sgt. Meyer S. Levin '34
Decorated Air Force Hero
Brooklyn Tech’s first World War II hero, Air Force Master Sergeant Levin was a much decorated B-17 bombardier in the Pacific Theater. He flew in the first planes to attack the enemy after Pearl Harbor and miraculously escaped death in the ill-fated flight that claimed Captain Colin Kelly’s life. On January 7, 1943, his plane ran out of fuel and the crew was ordered to parachute to safety. But, Sgt. Levin remained onboard long enough to drop the life raft that saved the crew’s lives. He did not survive the crash.
