Remember When: Stunt pilot with Alle-Kiski Valley ties became sensation for 'accidental' transatlantic flight

National Wrong Way Corrigan Day is celebrated every year on July 17. Named for Tarentum’s “adopted son,” the day commemorates the 1938 transatlantic journey of stunt pilot Douglas Corrigan, who made an unauthorized flight between Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Ireland. Corrigan has ties to the Alle-Kiski Valley.
