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. Vintage matte-finish 3.25 x 5.5 postcard photo of Douglas Corrigan waving to crowds from an automobile following his 'accidental' transatlantic flight in 1938, signed in the lower border in fountain pen, "Doug Corrigan." In fine condition.
