Douglas Corrigan (January 22, 1907 – December 9, 1995) was an American aviator born in Galveston, Texas. He was nicknamed \"Wrong Way\" in 1938. After a transcontinental flight from Long Beach, California, to New York, he flew from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, to Ireland, though his flight plan was filed to return to Long Beach. He claimed his unauthorized flight was due to a navigational error, caused by heavy cloud cover that obscured landmarks and low-light conditions, causing him to misread his compass. However, he was a skilled aircraft mechanic (he was one of the builders of Charles Lindbergh\'s Spirit of St. Louis) and had made several modifications to his own plane, preparing it for his transatlantic flight. He had been denied permission to make a nonstop flight from New York to Ireland, and his \"navigational error\" was seen as deliberate. Nevertheless, he never publicly admitted to having flown to Ireland intentionally.
Also, this is a First Day Cover for Scott Airmail Stamp #C92a!
Notice he took the time to write\"Wrong Way to Ireland 1938\"!
The cachet shows the accomplishments of Orville & Wilbur Wright.
