Howard Hughes drinking what seems to be a glass of water. There are onlookers behind him. Written on back: "Howard Hughes and plane." Presumably the Northrop Gamma Racer.
Howard Hughes sits in a chair in front of a film editing desk. Behind the desk are shelves holding various reels of film. A film editing machine is seen on the desk. This first image shows Hughes without a mustache.
