Hughes Tool Co seeks RFC payments for flying boat project
Hughes Tool Co filed a friendly suit against Reconstruction Finance Corp in Houston demanding contract payments to finish the original $18.9 million outlay on the Long Beach flying boat. Hughes said he spent about $100 million of his own funds and about $300,000 monthly is still spent at Long Beach. The suit seeks $1,257,299 due on the contract and $476,299 for escalator costs. The case ties to a 1947 congressional probe into the project and a long test hop at Long Beach Harbor drew a large press presence.
