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, flying in the first planes to attack the enemy after Pearl Harbor. On January 7, 1943, his plane ran out of fuel and the crew was ordered to parachute to safety. However, Sgt. Levin remained on board long enough to drop the life raft that saved the crew’s lives. He did not survive the crash.
