Youngsters today have no idea who Lindbergh was, or Jimmy Doolittle,
or even Wrong Way Corrigan


Vince, I am pleased that someone else remembers Corrigan.

all the best -- Dan Ford


Oh, very well! It was big news at the time, and I was already crazy
about airplanes. I was 10 years old, and had just begun to build
airplane models.

My first model was, guess what! A Curtiss Robin!

(For the younger posters, that was the airplane Corrigan flew across
the Atlantic.)
