3" x 4" signed photograph of aviator Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan in front of his airplane, autographed To Mrs. Malick - Douglas Corrigan 10-22-38 and rubber-stamped Photo by Drennan, Roosevelt Field, N.Y. on verso. Douglas Corrigan (1907-1995) earned the nickname "Wrong Way" after making a solo transatlantic flight in July 1938 and claiming it was due to a navigation error on his way to California because he couldn't get permission from aviation officials to fly his small self-modified plane to Europe. He became an instant celebrity and was honored with ticker-tape parades in New York and Chicago that drew more people than those of his idol Charles Lindbergh. Condition: Excellent condition.
