Unique Sea - Spanning Hop
Made In Antiquated Plane
Flyer Lands In Ireland
On Unhearlded Flight
By Thomas A. Boynton
(Special Via Air Mail)
Heartened, supposedly, by the
overwhelming success of the How
ard Hughes earth-circling flight
of last week, another American
aviator has distinguished himself
as the author of a new chapter
in the history of long-distance
flying. Yesterday (Monday) Doug
las P. Corrigan landed in Ireland
after having spanned the ocean
in a 9-year-old plane.
Leaving Floyd Bennett Airport,
in New York City, Sunday morning
at 4:17 A. M., (Est.), Corrigan
told airport officials he was on
his way back to California, from
whence he had come in a 28-hour
non-stop flight scarcely more than
a week ago. He landed yesterday
morning at 8:30 o’clock, (Est.)
at the Baldonnel Airport near
Dublin, just 28 hours and 13
minutes after the take-off.
Both the trip across the conti
nent and his over-seas hop were
unhearlded and mystifying to
officials here and abroad, although
the flyer was last year refused a
United States permit to attempt
the trip to Ireland.
The plane Corrigan used was
of the same vintage as the famous
Tlindbergh “Spirit of St. Louis”,
v ’t was an even smaller shin.
’The trip was made without radio
and only the barest of navigating
instruments.
