Product Description:
Howard Hughes - From Wealth to Madness is the biography of Howard Hughes, an American aviator, engineer, industrialist, film producer/director, philanthropist, and one of the wealthiest people in the world. Hughes was a lifelong aircraft enthusiast, pilot, and self-taught aircraft engineer. He is famous for setting multiple world air-speed records, building the Hughes H-1 Racer and H-4 Hercules aircraft, producing the movies Hell's Angels, Scarface and The Outlaw, as well as owning and expanding Trans World Airlines. Hughes remains an iconic figure of the twentieth century, not only for his professional accomplishments, but his highly-publicized descent into madness and prescription-drug addiction. Hughes has now emerged as one of the 20th century's most iconic business and aviation figures spawning a wide range of cultural references. Howard Hughes is also a recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal. Howard Hughes - From Wealth to Madness is highly recommended for those interested in reading more about Howard Hughes, the innovator and philanthropist.
