The Flying Irishman plot

"See the "inside story" of his flight in this exciting drama of life!"

The story of the historic flight of Douglas 'Wrong Way' Corrigan in 1938. He planned to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a single-engine plane. On July 17, 1938, he loaded 320 gallons of gasoline, good for 40 hours of flying time, and headed west for Long Beach, California. When he landed 29 hours later in Baldonnel near Dublin, he was astonished. Corrigan has always maintained that he was surprised he didn't land in California, but was still in Ireland.
