Aviation Pioneer

Hughes' passion for aviation began early. In 1926, at the age of 20, he set a world air speed record. Over the next two decades, he developed and manufactured groundbreaking aircraft, including the iconic H-1 Racer and the massive Spruce Goose, the largest wooden plane ever built.

A Private Life of Extremes

Controversial Relationships

Despite his seclusion, Hughes had a series of tumultuous relationships with Hollywood starlets and actresses. His affairs with Katharine Hepburn, Ava Gardner, and Jean Harlow became the subject of intense public scrutiny and tabloid fodder.
