View Full Version : Aviator Confusion
Was it Lindbergh who flew the Atlantic or was it that Wrong Way Feldman guy off of Gilligan's Island????

No. Aviator confusion is when mdklatt mixes tornado chasing with flying.

I thought this thread was about Wrong Way Corrigan.
On July 17, 1938, Douglas Corrigan filed a flight plan for California and took off from a Brooklyn airfield in a tiny single-engine plane. 29 hours later he arrived in Ireland, claiming his compasses had failed. Although Corrigan never quite admitted it, his 'mistake' was surely a ruse to circumvent aviation authorities who had turned down his request to make a trans-Atlantic flight. Corrigan's stunt caught the public fancy and he was given a hero's welcome on his return to New York.
