Alan Bowmer
The Spruce Goose
In stock
Six times larger than any aircraft of its time, the Spruce Goose, aka the Hughes Flying Boat, is made entirely of wood (mostly birch) and flew only once on 2nd Nov 1947. A massive transport plane was needed to move troops and material across the Atlantic, where in 1942, German submarines were sinking hundreds of Allied ships, and Howard Hughes took on the challenge. Kept in a climate-controlled hanger until his death in 1976, it is now in the Evergreen Aviation and Space museum, Oregon, and is still the largest wooden plane ever built.
