Douglas Corrigan knew perfectly well where he was going, and he got
there by navigating.

(For those of a younger generation, Corrigan was refused permission to

flying to Los Angeles, and behold! He landed in Ireland by mistake. He
even wrote a book about it. Life was much more innocent in those
days.)
