Men Against the Sky

This film features the original 1935 Hughes H-1 RACER. It set the transcontinental non-stop speed record on 1 January 1937 over a distance of 2,490 miles at and average speed of 332 mph taking 7 hr., 28min., 25 sec. The plane is on display at the National Air & Space Museum and was also featured in the movie The Aviator (2004). Only one was ever built, but subsequently several replicas have been fabricated.

Models were mostly used, but also notable is the use of footage of the experimental Hughes H-1 Racer during Howard Hughes record-breaking trans-American aircraft flight from Burbank, Calif., to Newark, N.J. in 1937.
