Howard Hughes: The Aviator - Setting records

Time: Friday Sep 13, 1935

Place: Santa Ana, California, U.S.

Details: On September 13, 1935, Hughes, flying the H-1, set the landplane airspeed record of 352 mph (566 km/h) over his test course near Santa Ana, California (Giuseppe Motta reached 362 mph in 1929 and George Stainforth reached 407.5 mph in 1931, both in seaplanes).
