Howard Huhges was a Lonely Man, and a Genius, it drove him Nuts, But got a LOT Done before worn out, was First Modern CEO, and Last of Old fashioned CEOs, Real Piece of American History

[Skroggn]

I loved this. Its funny to me that so many were so certain how crazy he was when you can't gauge that when he's stoned out of his mind.

[scottwhite]

Incredible story .. Incredible what Money can do.. Howard was no dummy..

[robertrusnak]

When someone has tons of money like Howard did yet incapable of looking after their own affairs, THE VULTURES ALAWYS start to circle the body.

My Father worked for Howard Hughes at TWA in New York, then transferred us to LAX in 1954 he was vice president of public relations lived in San Fernando valley. Do sad that TWA went chapter11 . My father told me a story that Howard called our house for some crisis happened, and told my dad to lose the number.

[williamkuhns]

When the H-1 made airspeed record run and ran out of fuel Howard made the split second decision to pull back on stick to get altitude then forward to get air under wings to glide to beet field. Probably made decision while engine was spuddering with just enough residual fuel?

[stephenspilker]

i can't recall the authors but the book citizen hughes is a very good read. the movie the aviator is good to.

[adamfrbs]

He bought the television station to essentially use the entire station as a remote control for the movies he watched in his room. Thats hilariously epic.

[jimjames]

look into what the establishment bankers did to him. after the TWA fiasco. they sued him for mismanagement 80% owned company.
There were so many lawsuits against him that he would have been in court every day forever. That is why he became a recluse; he had no choice.
He was not nuts but because the crash in Beverly hill his health sucked.

[andgate]

Howard tesla...elon musk...great inventers/engineers...but nuts.

[MrMikeV]

Love how Hughes was getting laid and everyone else was pointing it out.

"He's farking to much. I'm jealous. I can't be so jealous". That's how I see that.

Like yeah hes doing his most primitive basic need of survival. What a horrible man.

Look, Your either getting it or wanting it there's no other options really.

Howard got absolutely smashed for his lifestyle.

[h.nguyen]

50 phones in one house is insane. The dude was truly insane.

[adamfrbs]

Dang after OTR trucking in the paper log days I came to the same sleep conclusions he did. Works if you have the freedom to set your own timeframes for the work.

[chrismoody]

Tragic ending for Howard. But then he played a main role in his own demise, no one could tell him no.

[danharold]

As I understand it Howard suffered head injuries from the 2 crashes that lead to his erratic behavior and deteriorating mental health later in life.
