“Wrong-Way” Corrigan
This selection is about a man named Douglas Corrigan. He worked hard to become an airplane pilot and learned how to repair airplanes. Corrigan helped build the airplane that Charles Lindbergh used to make a famous flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Corrigan wanted to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, too. But he could not get permission from the government because his airplane was too old. Read the selection and find out how Corrigan made his dream come true.
