July 17 - Wrongway Corrigan Day
Today is the 65th Anniversary of the day Doug Corrigan flew his plane, Sunshine, to Ireland, July 17, 1938. He was trying to return home to LA, but faulty compasses misled him. Kinda like how ADA regulars are misleading everybody on twa 800. Corrigan was one of the heroes of my boyhood. Indeed, I sometimes had him confused with Lindberg. (Both made landfall in Ireland.) He wasn't returning to LA. Everyone knew that! It was wink wink nudge nudge. Of course he was trying to fly to Ireland, but couldn't get clearance. all the best -- Dan Ford email: www.danford.net/letters.htm#9 see the Warbird's Forum at http://www.danford.net/index.htm Vietnam | Flying Tigers | Pacific War | Brewster Buffalo | Piper Cub
