TRANSCRIPT
This guy , with first name Douglas, is generally talked about alongwith in the league of Charles Lindberg and AMelia Earhart. Rather he is more notorious because he in 1938 did a transatlantic flight with a run-down aircraft called Robin. THe interesting part was that his application to cross the atlantic solo was rejected 6 times, so one fine day he filed a traffic plan that he is going from California to Newyork and back. But after taking off from newyork, instead of coming back to california, he flew all the way straight to dublin, Ireland.
It took him 26 hours and later he told the authorities that "his unauthorized flight was due to a navigational error, caused by heavy cloud cover that obscured landmarks and low-light conditions, causing him to misread his compass."

Aldous Huxley's novel, "After Many a Summer Dies the Swan" was titled after a verse from the Lord Tennyson poem Y.
Traces of the theme of immortality without eternal youth appear in Book 3 of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels where the Struldbrugs are in Y predicament. The difference is that they are alleged to be born that way.
An episode of the television show The X-Files titled Y concerns a man who cheated Death, but eventually came to see his immortality as a curse rather than a gift. The man is able to "sense" death coming for people and attempts to catch the face of Death in photographs, believing that if he sees his face, he will finally die.
