Howard Robard Hughes Jr. (December 24,
1905 – April 5, 1976) was an American business magnate, investor, record-setting pilot, engineer, film
director, and philanthropist, known
during his lifetime as one of the most financially successful individuals in
the world. He first became prominent as a film producer, and then as an
influential figure in the aviation industry. Later in life, he became known for
his eccentric behavior and
reclusive lifestyle—oddities that were caused in part by a pain from a near-fatal plane crash and increasing
deafness. As a film tycoon, Hughes gained fame in Hollywood beginning
in the late 1920s, when he produced big-budget and often controversial films
such as The Racket (1928), Hell's he controlled the RKO film studio. Hughes formed the Hughes Aircraft Company in
1932, hiring numerous engineers and designers. He spent the rest of the 1930s
and much of the 1940s setting multiple world air speed records and
building the Hughes H-1 Racer and H-4 Hercules (the Spruce Goose). He acquired
and expanded Trans World Airlines and
later acquired Air West, renaming
it Hughes Airwest. Hughes was
included in Flying Magazine's list of the 51 Heroes of Aviation, ranked
at No. 25. Today, his legacy is maintained through the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute and the Howard Hughes Corporation.
