For The Man
Prologue
Howard Hughes was born on Christmas eve, 1905, inHouston, Texas. His father, Hughes, Sr., was an inventive man withgreat mechanical curiosity, as well as Harvard-educated and alawyer.
He was experienced in mining engineering, andhad devised the rotary bit and several other advances andinnovations in the equipment used to drill for oil. He was aone-time wildcatter in the Texas oil fields, and was often awayfrom home early in his career. They called him "Big Howard," andalthough he didn't strike it rich in the ground, his inventive mindbuilt the family fortune by another route. He was a pioneer in thedevelopment of the Southwest's oil fields. Hughes Sr.'s inventionshad led him to the formation of Hughes Tool Company, which todayexists as a major supplier of oil field technology worldwide, andby the time of his son's birth he was well established financially.In 1909, Hughes, Sr. patented a new kind of drill bit, which had166 cutting edges that revolutionized the digging of oil wells. Itsteeth chewed through hard rock just like candy. He designed andmanufactured this revolutionary drilling bit, nicknamed the rockeater, which became the tool of choice for oilmen the world over,and soon made him a millionaire.
Howard Hughes Senior doted on his son, andwould later leave his share of his company, Hughes Tool Co. toHughes, Jr.. Hughes Senior and Junior were fast friends, and youngHoward, then known as "Sonny," was encouraged to exercise hisinherited mechanical ability and keen sense of scientificcuriosity. Before he was 15, Howard, Jr. had already made a radiotransmitter, a motor for his bicycle, was a member of the thenpopular Radio Relay League and had even gone on his first airplaneflight.
At home, young Howard's mother, Allene, dotedon their only child. By all accounts, she was a beautiful andsensitive woman, who was devoted to Howard Jr.. He was just asstrongly attached to his beloved mother.
Howard Hughes, Jr. was a mechanical wizard.He once said, "What I am interested in is science, nature and itsvarious manifestations." When his parents refused to buy him amotorcycle, he made his own, by cleverly using his bike and theself-starter from an old car. Hughes made his first flight at 14, ahop in a battered seaplane which took passengers aloft at $5 aflight. Then he used his allowance to pay for flying lessons withbarnstorming pilots in Texas, and within a year, the youth had aflying license. Hughes was a tall, gangly kid, a bit hard ofhearing and shy, and he was a so so student, except when it came tomathematics and science. He was sent away to prep school inCalifornia, and became interested in movie making from an uncle whowas a screenwriter.
While he was at school, at age sixteen, hisbeloved mother died unexpectedly from an overdose of anesthesiapreceding minor surgery. Then two and a half years later, in 1924,he lost his father to a heart attack. Sonny's father, "Big Howard,"passed away at the age of fifty-four in the middle of a businessmeeting at his office in Houston, leaving behind a very largeestate, his position as President of the Hughes Tool Company, andan orphaned son. In his Will, he'd leave his share of the Companyto his son.
At the time of his father's death, Sonny,barely eighteen, was living with his maternal aunt, and attendingthe Rice Institute (now Rice University) in Houston. A rather quietyoung man, he seemed to be mainly interested in airplanes andflight, his saxophone, and Hollywood.
When Howard, Sr. died in January 1924, theHughes estate was valued at $871,518 as per the Inventory filedamong his probate proceedings in Harris County, Texas. However,more important than the dollar value of his estate, though sizable,was his sole interest in the Hughes Tool Company, which he'dfounded and would pass on through his untimely passing. With thebeginning of the oil age, Hughes Tool Company, which manufacturedthe revolutionary cone drilling bit, was only starting to realizethe huge profits that were to be its due. As set forth in a willthat Howard Hughes Sr. executed on April 23, 1913 (and amended by acodicil dated November 25, 1919), the beneficiaries of thiswindfall, were to be his late wife, Allene Gano Hughes, hisparents, a younger brother, and Sonny.
