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.

Learn more about the Hughes H-4 Hercules, aka the Spruce Goose, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
