1936 Large photograph of pioneer aviator Howard Hughes and his latest plane he was tuning up for a flight around the world. A new radio device was being tested atop the plane and can be seen in the image as well as Hughes himself posed outside the door. A cool piece of American history that is the only example of this image we have ever seen. Issued by the International News and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, the photo has some wear at the corners but otherwise the condition is pretty strong.
