The original H-1 racer was designed and built by Howard Hughes back in 1935 and was far ahead of its time during that era. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hughes_H-1_Racer
Jim Wright’s “Wright Machine Tool Company” reproduction had been built up over several years and was a work of art. Sadly Mr. Wright and the plane were lost in 2003 during a return trip back home from Oshkosh.
This video is of his record setting speed runs that took place during the Reno National Championship Air Races held in 2002.
