Howard Levinson grew up in extreme poverty in Chicago and from a very young age experienced rampant anti-Semitism. He dreamed to fly, pushing through the obstacles of resources and ignorance to become a B-24 pilot in the Pacific at the tender age of 21. Though his crew feared he would be a "coward" because of his Jewish religion, he taught them a lesson in heroism they would never forget. Howard has continued to teach his entire life, including 75 years as a flight instructor.
