Citizen Hughes

Citizen Hughes: The Power, the Money and the Madness of the Man portrayed in the Movie THE AVIATOR


Howard Hughes had unlimited control over his business empire and employees, and felt he could buy power in Washington D.C. He financed election campaigns for rival candidates so he could try calling in favors from whomever won office and even did so with Presidential campaigns.  He also tried to pay off officials to end nuclear testing in Nevada.
