Joined Atlas Obscura in 2014

Watched "The Spirit of St. Louis" with Jimmy Stuart on TCM. I used to temp furniture delivery from Roosevelt Field, Long Island, NY where my dad worked for UPS then A&S, next to the Long Island Heliport, once a bowling alley. Charles Lindbergh was the first to fly solo west to east, in 1927, from there to Paris, France, but did you know: "On 18 August 1932 Jim Mollison made the first east-to-west solo trans-Atlantic flight; flying from Portmarnock in Ireland to Pennfield, New Brunswick, Canada in a de Havilland Puss Moth - Transatlantic Flights" - Wikipedia. Pennfield, named after the Quaker William Penn, is just north of Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick Canada, and in WWII had an active training airfield and sub hunters station.
