Shaky dull in contrast and imagery Douglas Corrigan, intrepid aviator who flew 'by mistake' non-stop to Ireland in a $900, 9-year-old plane, tells his story to Universal Newsreel far out at sea, before his spectacular reception in New York. Douglas Corrigan waves from passenger liner and passes a sight-seeing boat with banners welcoming him back home to New York. Ticker tape parade in New York. Corrigan waves to crowd on parade route. (various generic shots could be used for other ticker-tape parades)
