The Hughes H-4 Hercules, aka The Spruce Goose (Encore)
Manage episode 432003408 series 2739686
During the height of the Second World War, American shipping to Europe was constantly being attacked by German U-boats.
In an attempt to completely bypass German subs, aviation pioneer Howard Hughes began construction on what would be the world’s largest aircraft.
A plane that was so large it could carry 750 passengers or two full-sized tanks across the Atlantic.
Sadly, it was hampered by wartime rationing of metals and only flew in one memorable test flight.
