  Title: Hughes H-4 Hercules
  Passage: The Hughes H-4 Hercules (also known as the Spruce Goose; registration NX37602) is a prototype strategic airlift flying boat designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft Company.  Intended as a transatlantic flight transport for use during World War II, it was not completed in time to be used in the war.

Built from wood because of wartime restrictions on the use of aluminum and concerns about weight, it was nicknamed by critics the "Spruce Goose", although it was made almost entirely of birch.  The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, and it has the largest wingspan of any aircraft that has ever flown.  It remains in good condition and is on display at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, United States.
