Description

Douglas ‘Wrong Way’ Corrigan

American pilot (1907–1995) best remembered for a 1938 navigational “error” (now widely believed to have been a purposeful protest against government red tape) that landed him in Dublin instead of his stated destination of California. ALS, one page, 4 x 5.25, June 8, 1939. Letter to a collector. In full: “So glad to hear from you again and hope your hobby will give you lots of pleasant future days.” Scattered toning and a couple trivial brushes to text, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
