Spruce Goose to become aviation museum exhibit in Long Beach
The Spruce Goose, Howard Hughes’ famed wooden flying boat, will be donated to an Air Museum of the West to be built on the Long Beach waterfront near the Queen Mary. The Summa Corp announced the transfer, with local businessmen seeking city backing for a donation drive. The 220 foot craft, made of birch and completed in 1947, stands 11 feet shorter than a Boeing 747 and symbolizes Hughes’ genius and eccentricity.
