Great Original Photo of Hughes H-1 Tail Nr258Y.
On Sept. 13, 1935, one month after its first flight, Howard Hughes flew the H-1 Racer over a specially instrumented course near Santa Ana, Calif., and set a world landplane speed record of 352 mph (566 kph). In 1936 and 1937, Hughes flew the H-1 to set two transcontinental speed records.
The Hughes Aircraft Co., a division of the Hughes Tool Co., was formed in 1932 by Howard Hughes to develop the H-1 Racer. He built the wood and metal single-seat monoplane in Charles Babb's hangar at Grand Central Air Terminal, Glendale, Calif. The Hughes team took 18 months to design and build the plane and to extensively test the H-1 model in the 200-mph (321 kph) wind tunnel at the California Institute of Technology's Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory.
