The Flying War Ship *HERCULES* | Documentary

Howard Hughes's H-4 Hercules is the largest amphibian aircraft, and the largest wooden aircraft ever built. And for 72 years up until 2019, it had the largest wingspan of any airplane. It truly is a marvel of engineering and a beast of a machine. The first and very last time it ever flew was on November 2nd, 1947 when Howard Hughes shocked the world by unveiling the gargantuan airship that the press had scoffed by saying it could never fly...they even nicknamed it "The Spruce Goose", despite the fact that it was made of Birch wood. Be sure to visit the H-4 Hercules at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum, in McMinnville, Oregon, USA. They are wonderful people and the docents are very knowledgeable about the aircraft and spacecraft/machinery.

We were able to speak with one of the docents at our leisure and because we were the last of the private groups, we had extra time to pick his brain on information about the airplane (and extra time to film footage). I kept note of the information, and when I needed to corroborate some of the facts I chose these sources: Boeing Historic Snapshot of H-4 Hercules: https://www.boeing.com/history/produc... “The Spruce Goose” LA Almanac: https://www.laalmanac.com/history/hi4...
