It is hard to argue which aspect of Howard Hughes' life was more important, but when this photo was taken in late 1928, he was a film producer who was starting to show an interest in aviation! He is seen with Roscoe Turner and posing in front of a monster plane. Issued by Underwood and Underwood and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well, this is likely the finest image of Hughes that we have ever offered and it presents beautifully!
