Douglas Corrigan had a dream. He wanted to fly a plane across the Atlantic Ocean by himself. He bought a used airplane. Then he asked for permission (允许) to fly it across the ocean. People from the government looked at his shabby, old plane. They said no because the plane didn't look safe enough to make the trip smooth. Sometime later Corrigan asked for permission to fly from New York to California without stopping. This time the answer was yes. Comgan climbed into his plane early one morning in July of 1938. His gas tank (油箱) was full. He had a box of cookies. He waved good-bye and took off. Comgan didn't go west to California, though. Instead, he headed northeast. Twenty-six hours later, he landed in Dublin, Ireland. He had flown the Atlantic Ocean after all. What happened? According to Corrigan, the needle (针) on his compass (罗盘) was pointed the wrong way. Comgan's dream had come true. Was it an accident, or did he plan it? No one but "Wrong Way" Corrigan knows for sure. | |
