The industrialist Henry Kaiser conceived the idea of giant flying boats in 1942 to ferry supplies and troops to Europe. He joined forces with Howard Hughes who eventually took over the project. Hughes was a perfectionist and the H-4 cost far more than planned and the war was over before it was finished. Built largely out of wood, it was known as the 'Spruce Goose'; with a wingspan of 320 feet it would have carried 700 troops.
