Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan

Douglas (Wrong Way) Corrigan started a flight from New York in 1938. His destination was Los Angeles, California, but the next day he landed in Ireland. An instant hero, he frustrated aviation officials and returned to a ticker tape parade in New York City. Idea: ChildrenĀ could calculate how many miles off target he was.
