"
James Joseph Mattern
(March 8, 1905 – December 17, 1988) was an American aviator. Mattern undertook a number of aviation world records, including twice attempting to break the world record for
aerial circumnavigation set by
Wiley Post
and
Harold Gatty
. Both attempts failed; the second in 1933 resulted in a crash landing and subsequent rescue by Eskimos and
Sigizmund Levanevsky
in Siberia. In a twist of fate, Mattern would join the search for Levanevsky after he went missing in 1937. Levanevsky was never found."
