Piloted by its owner, Mr Howard Hughes, the Mammoth flying boat was flown for the first time on Los Angeles Harbour last week. Prior to starting Mr Hughes announced that he only intended taxi-ing the flying boat down the harbour, but he unexpectedly took it into the air and remained airborne for about a mile. The photograph shows the flying boat shortly after the take-off.
