Levine's place among the nrui three New York-to-Europe flyers | and his possession with Clarence Chamberlin, his pilot in the Co- lumbia, of the world non-stn flight record have been all but | overshadowed by his experiences | in ‘the four months between Msl landing at Kottbus, Germany, in {mid-June; .and his_start for home Oct. 11 on the Leviathan. Three pilots shared in his ven- || tures, and although he pretended to no more than a layman’s knowledge of a plane, he took the stick of the Columbia himself to fly alone from Paris to London after a disagreement with his French pilot. None o his subsequent flights were more notable or picturesque than that which began when he stepped, bareheaded, into the Co- lumbia ~with Chamberlin on the morning of her takeoff from Roosevelt Field, L. 1., and set out unannounced for Europe. But en- suing journeys took him._te nine European nations and whetted a zest for aviation which will take him back to Europe next summer, he promises, to attempt flights he was unable to make this year. After, Chamberlin’s return to the United States, Levine en- gaged Maurice Drouhin, French aviator, as his pilot and announc- ed that a return flight would be attempted to sthe United States. Weather was unfavorable, differ- ences of opinion developed be- tween the two, and the French criticize Levine for engaging as his partner an airman who had\ completed early preparations for! an American flight of his own in a French plane. Finally Levine took the helm of his ship at Le Bourget Field, Paris, and jumped alone to Lon- don without mishap in his first effort at piloting a plane.
