Yesterday's Big Story - "wrong-way" Corrigan who flew the Atlantic in a tiny 9-year old plane after filing a flight plan to Los Angeles.
A smiling Irishman showed up in Dublin one summer's day in 1938 while on his way to Los Angeles! Sure- and it was "wrong-way" Corrigan who flew the Atlantic in a tiny 9-year old plane after filing a flight plan to Los Angeles. He always insisted that he "got turned" around and flew East instead of West. A leprechaun was his co-pilot. CUS - Douglas Corrigan. CUS - Single winged plane that just landed and is taxing. CUS - Douglas Corrigan at the controls of his plane. MCS - Douglas stepping out of his plane. CUS - A raised American Flag MCUS - Douglas looking at some mail. MCUS - Douglas Corrigan and the American Ambassador to Ireland, William Howard Taft III. MCUS - New York Harbor, Celtic Circle welcoming Douglas Corrigan back home with big banners on boats.
