Variant namesBiographical notes:
Douglas Corrigan (1907-1995) was an American pilot during the twentieth century. Corrigan was born in Galveston, Texas and learned to fly in California. He was a member of the crew that built "The Spirit of St. Louis", the airplane in which Charles Lindbergh made his solo transatlantic flight in 1927. In 1938, Corrigan "accidentally" made a solo transatlantic flight from Brooklyn, New York to Dublin, Ireland, a flight which earned him the nickname "Wrong Way" Corrigan. Douglas Corrigan passed away in 1995.
