The Legendary Spruce Goose: A Marvel of Aviation History
More than 66 years after it first flew, Howard Hughes’ gigantic, wooden H-4 Hercules — nicknamed the Spruce Goose — still holds the record for one of the widest wingspans of any airplane ever built, measuring an impressive 320 feet. Currently, it is housed at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.
