The Downfall of Howard Hughes and His $2.5 Billion Empire of Airplanes and Madness

Howard Hughes was an American billionaire who built an empire across aviation, Hollywood, and Las Vegas in the middle of the twentieth century, setting world speed records, producing blockbuster films, and buying entire casinos from a sealed hotel room. He died in nineteen seventy six weighing barely ninety pounds, so changed that the FBI had to use fingerprints to confirm it was him.
