Endurance record set by Columbia pilots shattered
New long distance record of about 2790 miles was posted by Clarence Chamberlin and Charles Levine as the Bellanca monoplane Columbia crossed toward Europe. The flight surpassed Lindbergh’s 1919 New York Paris mark but ended when a propeller broke 70 miles southeast of Berlin, delaying arrival plans.
