HUGHES, HOWARD R.
(1905 - 1976) American industrialist and aviator, an eccentric billionaire who controlled RKO, founded the Hughes Tool Corp., and built and flew the enormous airplane ""Spruce Goose"". S.P. ""Howard Hughes"", 10"" x 8"" b/w, showing Hughes and fellow members of his record-setting around-the-world flight of 1938, also signed by THOMAS THURLOW, EDWARD LUND, AL LODWICK, HARRY CONNOOR, and DICK STODDART. Hughes' signature has been written over his trousers and contrast is just good. Sold with an archive of 11 photos, two letters and two telegrams, all aviation-related. From the collection of crew member Al Lodwick. Very good.
