| Ben Beekman, e-mail, 21.10.2012 02:39 I recently watched a TV program on World War 2 aircraft that said Kurt Tank saw this Hughes design fly and it influenced him in his later design of the FW-190. reply |
| a.machiaverna, e-mail, 25.09.2011 08:08 Any truth to the old rumour that the 1B inspired the Japanese in designing the "Zero"? The rear section of the epinage is identical. reply |
| Jon Wagner, e-mail, 23.09.2011 05:03 I went to Eddie Martin Airport near Santa Ana, CA ( later Santa Ana AAFB, Orange Co. Airport and John Wayne Intl AP) with my grandfather and dad to see Howard set a speed record over the surrounding bean fields in this plane.
Incidentally after WW II Paul Mantz Aviation had many WW II birds at Orange Co. Airport that were used in many films We used to drive by them going to the drag races at OCAP in the 50's reply |

| Dave Ramies, e-mail, 05.03.2011 02:01 Saw the replica at Reno in 2002 (and have some footage of it somewhere) - awesome sight and sound!! Tragic loss of pilot and aircraft in the following year. reply |

| Dave Ortega, e-mail, 15.04.2008 07:06 The aircraft used in "The Aviator" were models of about 1 /3 scale. One of the air magazines some time ago had an extensive article on them. Beautiful, weren't they? reply |
