This is an excerpt from a film at the Evergreen Air and Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, of the first, and only, flight of Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose" seaplane in November of 1947. It was made mainly of spruce plywood and was the biggest airplane ever at that time and even today no plane has a longer wingspan. It flew for one mile and reached an altitude of 70 feet.
