Howard Hughes has to be one of the most interesting Americans to ever live. He inherited astounding wealth at an early age, was a gifted engineer, and had a major role in the development of both commercial aviation and the movie industry. The H-4 Hercules, better known to many as the ?Spruce Goose,? was perhaps his crowning achievement as an aviator and engineer. The Hercules was designed as a ?flying boat,? and meant to transport heavy artillery for the American war effort. It was built almost entirely out of wood (birch, not spruce, despite the nickname) due to restrictions on heavy metals as part of the war effort. Famously, the plane wasn?t ready in time to actually be used in the Second World War, and Hughes? efforts to build the plane became the subject of tense Congressional hearings, where he was accused of wasting taxpayer money on a plane that couldn?t fly. Ultimately, it did fly, briefly, in a 1947 test flight, and there has been something of a legend around the plane, and Hughes, ever since. Bremont H-10 Hercules
