Administrators Eric Posted December 12, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted December 12, 2021 The movie Hell's Angels was made in 1930, directed by Howard Hughes. It starred Jean Harlow, among many others. The book I posted above was a promotional book produced by the studion the same year. I've scanned it and used OCR software to render the written parts as text. I'm not sure how well the PDF file is going to work for everyone embedded in the page as I did. Please let me know if it is viewable and usable for you. If not, please let me know what browser and device you are viewing the site on. I posted in the new Donations thread about a new website project I'm working on. This little book is one of the items I've scanned so far. It's interesting stuff. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted December 12, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted December 12, 2021 Hell's Angels was Jean Harlow's film debut, at the age of only 19. By all accounts, she was quite a lady. She was also an avid car enthusiast and owned some of the coolest cars of her day. Tragically, she died of kidney failure when she was only 26 years old. The car below is a 1931 Cadillac Roadster that she owned. It was the first car I ever detailed for a major car show. I was 13 at the time. The car, including the paint, was all original. I spent three weeks rubbing out the paint by hand, before that show. It was a beautiful car. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minderasr Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Same here. Worked fine using Brave and easily downloaded too. And for the record, Jean Harlow was smoking hot. Edit: no issues with Firefox either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fnfalman Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Howard Hughes was a weirdo but he went all about with his aviation movies. I like Dawn Patrol more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Hughes also own an airline? And… could it be that he is the Hughes in the name of satellite internet provider HughesNet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Given your love and affinity for classic cars, Eric, did you see the collection of Richard P Kughn? He may have been more widely known in his later years as the owner of Lionel Trains. His car collection was nothing to sneeze at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew it from SFO to Arcata one time. Seemed okay. Quote Hughes Airwest (IATA: RW, ICAO: -, Call sign: Hughes-Air) was an airline in the western United States, backed by Howard Hughes' Summa Corporation. The airline's original name was Air West. Hughes Airwest flew routes in the western U.S. and to several destinations in Mexico and Canada; its headquarters were on the grounds of San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in unincorporated San Mateo County, California.[2] With distinctive all-yellow aircraft, the company slogan was Top Banana in the West;[3][4][5] it was purchased by Republic Airlines on October 1, 1980.[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hughes_Airwest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shots from the dedicated camera plane showed roughly forty aircraft swarming at one point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
