Corrigan's social card mix up fuels famous wrong way flight
Douglas Corrigan, working in the Northrop factory, forgot his social security card and soon became world famous for a non stop flight to Ireland. The 31 year old from Galveston earlier tested aircraft fuel use and mechanicals at home with his aunt and uncle in Santa Monica. He had rebuilt a 1929 plane costing about $1200, including two old engines, and later flew from New York to Ireland after a reckless but celebrated detour inspired by Lindbergh.
