摘要

Every so often, a book emerges to cover a chapter in vertical flight history that has previously gone virtually untouched; the latest offering from veteran author and aviation historian, Donald J. Porter, is just such a book. Over the years, much has been written about famed entrepreneur, philanthropist and billionaire playboy Howard R.Hughes,Jr., covering everything from his lavish and eccentric lifestyle to his bevy of Hollywood leading ladies and his later years as a troubled recluse. Coverage of his involvement in aviation has usually focused on his repeated attempts at setting aviation speed records and his unauthorized one-time flight of the gargantuan HK-1 Hercules flying boat, better known as the Spruce Goose. Although books on individual Hughes' helicopters have been published, a comprehensive telling of Hughes' contributions as a major helicopter manufacturer has been missing until now.

Porter提供的最新产品就是这样一本书。多年来,关于著名企业家,慈善家和亿万富翁花花公子霍华德·休格斯(Howard R.Hughes,Jr。)的著作很多,涵盖了从他的奢侈古怪的生活方式到他对好莱坞女星们的狂热追求以及后来的麻烦隐士。他涉足航空领域的报道通常集中在他屡次尝试设置航空速度记录,以及未经授权的一次巨大的HK-1大力神飞船(称为云杉鹅)飞行一次。尽管已经出版了有关休斯的直升飞机的书籍,但到目前为止,关于休斯作为主要直升飞机制造商的贡献的全面叙述还不完整。
