H-1


Forgive me for being a little boyish here, but Howard Hughes' H-1 was an impressive plane, and beautiful metalwork too.
Howard liked to keep it clean, so the landing gear was retractable, and every rivet was flush.
( Leonardo DiCaprio:
" The rivets are gonna give me drag.
Do something about that. I want her slippery.")














She ended up on her belly in a beet field, probably sabotage.









Shiny shiny reproduction H-1. Magnifico!
