finleyholiday | Howard Hughes and the Spruce Goose ~ circa 1985 @finleyholiday | Uploaded April 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
From Finley Holiday’s film vault – circa 1985 – the World Premiere of our documentary on “Howard Hughes and the Spruce Goose,” produced when the Spruce Goose opened for public viewing in Long Beach, California in 1983. This film has only been seen by a lucky few who bought the VHS at the Spruce Goose gift shop in the 1980's.
The story of the enormous Hughes’ H-4 Hercules is fascinating for it’s ambitious engineering and the larger-than-life personality of entrepreneur Howard Hughes. The 1940's-era press widely mocked Hughes for his outsized vision and derisively named his engineering marvel “the Spruce Goose.” Today the C-5 Galaxy serves the military role envisioned by Hughes 75 years ago.
