Atlantic Flown In £180 "Flying Crate" -- Douglas Corrigan's 8-year-old monoplane in which he flew the Atlantic in 28 hours, photographed on arrival at Baldonnel aerodrome, Dublin, yesterday. The machine is an aluminium Curtis-Robin single-seater, single-engined, 165 H.P. Monoplane similar to the one in which Lindbergh made his Atlantic flight in May 1927. Corrigan paid £65 for the plane five years ago. He spent another £15 on it. When Corrigan asked the American authorities for permission to fly the Atlantic in it last year he was told it was not fit for the job. July 19, 1938. (Photo by Keystone).
