Summary

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.
