IT FLEW FOR THE FIRST AND LAST TIME ~1947

Spruce Goose flies - Nov 02, 1947 - HISTORY.com

The Hughes Flying Boat—at one time the largest aircraft ever built—
is piloted by designer Howard Hughes on its first and only flight.

Built with laminated birch and spruce (hence the nickname the
Spruce Goose) the massive wooden aircraft had a wingspan
longer than a football field and was designed to carry more
than 700 men to battle.
