@worldsanimate: The Hughes H-4 Hercules (a.k.a. the 'Spruce Goose') strategic airlift flying boat, the world's largest all-wood seaplane, nearing completion at Culver City, California, 16th July 1945. It has a wing-spread of 320 feet (20 feet longer than a football field), and is 13 feet thick at the hull. A Boeing B-29 Superfortress could be placed beneath each wing and still leave space for the hull with a few feet to spare. #war #warriors #oldhistory #story #storytime #histoire #oldschool
