Designed to carry 700 combat troops across the Atlantic, the aircraft first flew on 02 November 1949. With Howard Hughes at the controls for a taxi test, he advanced the eight throttles and took off for a one mile flight across the Long Beach harbor - the aircraft's only flight.

Saved from destruction by aviation enthusiasts, the aircraft is now in McMinnville, OR. awaiting the construction of a new museum which will house the plane.
