In 1938, American pilot Douglas Corrigan surprised the whole world when he landed his plane in Dublin. Everyone was surprised by the fact that HE MADE IT BY MERE MISTAKE. He was not the first pilot in the history of aviation to fly over the ocean, but he was the only pilot to do so by accident. For his mistake, Douglas earned the nickname "Wrong Way" Corrigan.
But was it really a mistake? Or did he fly to Ireland on purpose?

'Wrong Way' Corrigan
When he landed in Dublin, Ireland on July 18, 1938, Douglas Corrigan joined the ranks of only a handful of fliers who had made a non-stop solo transatlantic crossing by air. The only problem was, he was supposed to be going to California.

1938 "Wrong Way" Douglas Corrigan explains transcontinental flight - 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 ...

Corrigan - Newark Welcomes Wrong-Way Flyer Aka Corrigan Flies Lner (1938)
Titles read: "CORRIGAN - NEWARK WELCOMES WRONG-WAY FLYER".
Newark, New Jersey, United States of America.
A large crowd waits at Newark airport to welcome 'Wrong Way Flyer' Douglas Corrigan as he lands his plane. Corrigan emerges to cheers from the crowd and is asked by a reporter what he thinks of the typical American girl. He goes on a bit, not making too much sense, about seeing so many of them in the last few days that he kind of sees them as a whole rather than individuals, and he doesn't really have a type, in fact, no type at all is better than a lot of them (?!). When asked if he thinks girls should look like movie stars he says "You can't hold it against them if they're good-looking!".

A Moment In History: Wrong Way Corrigan
Let’s take a look at one of the funniest moments in the history of the 20th century. In the 1930s, aviation was growing in popularity. Thrill-seeking pilots were looking to make transcontinental flights for the first time in world history. In 1938, a man who was a mechanic for the legendary pilot Charles Lindberg would make a legendary flight of his own. But what made this pilot’s journey even more outrageous: he flew the wrong way. Let’s explore the flight of Douglas Corrigan, better known as “Wrong Way” Corrigan.

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. {From Wikipedia}.
