During the height of the Second World War, American shipping to Europe was constantly being attacked by German U-boats.

In an attempt to completely bypass German subs, aviation pioneer Howard Hughes began construction on what would be the world’s largest aircraft.

Sadly, it was hampered by wartime rationing of metals and only flew in one memorable test flight.
