Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. London. Book Club Associates. 1983. Originally published two years earlier. Hard Cover. Sexto-decimo, 16mo, 6to, 9" x 7½" [22.8cm x 19cm] approx. 159 pp approx. Mid blue textured boards with gilt titles to the spine. Neat mark to rear endpaper. Boards and text block are pristine. Pictorial wraparound dust jacket; both jacket and book are fine. Profusely illustrated with photographs and diagrams throughout. The Spruce Goose was first conceived during World War II, when German submarines were sinking hundreds of Allied ships, and there was a growing need to move troops and materials across the Atlantic Ocean. Henry Kaiser conceived the idea of a massive flying transport and turned to Howard Hughes to design and build it. Hughes took on the task, made even more challenging by the government s restrictions on materials critical to the war effort, such as steel and aluminum. Six times larger than any aircraft of its time, the Spruce Goose, also known as the Hughes Flying Boat, is made entirely of wood and flew just once, on November 2, 1947, in Long Beach, California. At the time of its construction, the Hughes H-4 Hercules, familiarly known as the Spruce Goose, was the world's largest plane. However, it was built for a war that was already over and never found a place in our modern world. The dust jacket will be protected with an inert acetate protective sleeve which is removable.
