No, Howard Hughes ("The Aviator") built the Hughes Hercules, aka "Spruce Goose", which was a completely different airplane.

The Martin Mars now a water bomber stationed in Port Alberni, BC can be regularly seen in the summer fighting forest fires. It made a recent trip to LA to help fight fires there as well.

"Flying battleship"? I guess "flying freighter" lacked the proper cachet...

As a child living on Middle River, MD I would see the Mars planes land and take off at the Glenn L Martin facility there. The HUGE aircraft would be serviced there. My father was one of the designers.
