One of the most memorable scenes in the movie “The Aviator” was when, in July 1946, Howard Hughes found the aircraft he was test piloting was failing. He headed for the Los Angeles Country Club to land the place as safely as he could, but didn’t quite make it. Instead he tore off more than half the roof from 803 North Linden Drive, and his right wing sliced through the upstairs bedroom of #805. This photo shows the result. Oopsies!
