Howard Hughes
Engineer, pilot, movie producer
H
oward Hughes was born in 1905 to a wealthy family involved the Texas oil industry.
By the age of eleven, Hughes had demonstrated a great deal of talent in both math
and mechanical engineering. Three years later, at the age of fourteen, he took his
first flying lesson, which sparked his lifelong passion for anything connected to airplanes.
At this young age, the energetic and hardworking Hughes had set himself ambitious long-
term goals. He predicted that he would become the world’s best golfer, its greatest pilot,
and its most famous movie producer. Amazingly, during his lifetime he achieved two out
of three of these ambitions.
Hughes’s father died when Howard was just nineteen, but the young Hughes was already
planning his professional career. He used the money from his father’s business to start a
life in Hollywood as a film producer. As a producer, Hughes was often hard to please, and
many considered him to be a tyrant. Even after a film was completed, he would
sometimes send it back to the director if he was not satisfied with it. The budgets for his
films were often astronomical. Hell’s Angels, a film released in 1930 about fighter pilots,
cost $3.8 million and took four years to make. The high cost was due, in part, to Hughes’s
constant and often somewhat irrational demands. Once, when his pilot refused to attempt
a particularly dangerous shot for the film, Hughes decided to fly the plane himself. He
succeeded in getting the shot that he wanted, but he also ended up crashing the plane.
When the film was nearly complete, Hughes decided that silent movies were too dated
and old-fashioned, so he reshot the film, this time with sound. With the success of Hell’s
Angels, Hughes established a reputation for thinking creatively and never hesitating to go
in new directions.
Hughes was also a powerful and successful businessman. Always interested in planes and
aviation, in 1932 he founded Hughes Aircraft Company. As a pilot and self-taught
engineer, he actively participated in the company. He often tested the company’s planes
himself and set many world speed records in the process. In 1938, he set a record when
he flew around the world in just 91 hours. In 1943, Hughes was testing an aircraft his
company had been working on when the plane crashed, killing his two passengers and
seriously injuring Hughes. Even in the face of such disaster, though, Hughes was not
discouraged and continued to make aviation history. Today, many Hughes aircraft are
considered classics. The Hughes H-1 Racer was the fastest plane in the world in its day
and is now displayed at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C.
As Hughes grew older, however, he started to become more and more eccentric. His
behavior became strange and somewhat troubling. Before eating peas, for example, he
would sort them by size on his plate. He watched his favorite movie more than 150 times.
He was so terrified of germs that he avoided shaking hands. By the 1950s, his health had
grown worse and he had disappeared from public life, living in hotel rooms, where he
covered all the windows. Rumors circulated about his odd behavior. It was said that he
wore tissue boxes as shoes and that he used paper towels to cover any object before he
touched it. In spite of his poor health and strange behavior, Hughes continued to follow
his passions. In 1953, he established the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a center for
biomedical research, by donating money and Hughes Aircraft stock. The Institute has
been conducting important medical research ever since. Hughes died in 1976, but the
world continues to benefit from his wide range of interests and accomplishments.

a. an outgoing egotist

b. Hughes Aircraft was a successful company in the 1930s and 1940s.

a. He had very clear ideas about what he wanted.

c. He had a very strong self-image.
56. How would the people who worked with Hughes on Hell’s Angels probably describe him?
