From the publisher: 'Dr. David Hatfield could not have picked a more lively and controversial subject for this latest in his series of aeronautical books than Howard Robard Hughes, aviation's perennial mystery man whose life story has been told and retold, often as more fiction than fact, by numerous writers. Coming from his extensive and authentic background as America's number one aviation historian, this volume on the Hughes H-4 Hercules presents never-before-published data and photos in a lively style sure to make it a long time collector's item. Here, for the first time, you will see photos actually taken inside the big hangar where the Hercules has rested cloaked in mystery for more than a quarter-century. Learn details of its amazing construction as the world's biggest aircraft, exceeding in many dimensions even the monstrous Lockheed C-5A. A product of a brilliant designer's farsightedness and imaginativeness the H-4 was conceived under the pressures and in the heat of a world war, later completed and flown by the genius designer, only to disappear from public view. Here, for the first time, you may read what went on in the past and what goes on today inside the 'big barn' where the Hercules has gathered the dust of decades. '-Don Dwiggins.
