With your large mind full of info, I will not be surprised if you already know of this gentleman. but we spoke last night of elderly fathers... mine was on the road yesterday and took a wrong turn and muttered to himself "wrong way corrigan" then couldn't quite remember why that was a phrase, so he googled it (he is getting savvy). He then sent off this article to all his children. I'd never heard of the man or the phrase before but I think he is a new hero of mine... I love this part - Approximately 26 hours into his flight, Corrigan claimed to have finally dropped down out of the clouds and noticed that he was over a large body of water. Knowing that it was too early to have reached the Pacific Ocean, Corrigan looked down at his compass--and because there was now supposedly more light to see by--suddenly noticed he "had been following the wrong end of the magnetic needle." Within a short time, Corrigan was over Ireland. He landed at Baldonnel Airport, in Dublin, after a 28-hour, 13-minute flight. centennialofflight.gov
