  1. In the 1980's I saw the Spruce Goose in Long Beach, Ca, it was impressive. Hughes wood technology ideas would eventually succeed with companies like Trus Joist who manufacture wood "I" floor joists and other products. Hughes was interesting, an oil man, aviator, movie director, aircraft designer, manufacturer and more than this.

  2. I agree, if H-1 Hercules had been made of Aluminum, that would have changed history. Post war transport and passenger planes would used the knowledge gained from the Hercules to build the new post war aircraft, it also "utilized a pioneering hydraulic flight control system due to its immense size, which made conventional mechanical controls impractical".
