Построенный в единственном экземпляре H-1 в экспозиции Национального аэрокосмического музея в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия. Хьюз утверждал, что японская компания "Mitsubishi" скопировала H-1 при проектировании своего истребителя Zero, однако та категорически отвергала обвинения.

The Hughes 1B 'racer' is pushed out to be looked over and photographed for the first time. Prominent is the short span dihedralled wing and wide track undercarriage with automatic folding flaps to cover the wheels when retracted.

A "MOVIE" MONOPLANE. This is the new racing machine built (by an unknown manufacturer) for Mr. Howard Hughes, the American film director. It will attack the landplane speed record. The engine appears to be a two-row Pratt and Whitney or Wright. The arrangement of the retractable undercarriage is interesting.

HOT FROM HOLLYWOOD: The modified Hughes Special (Pratt and Whitney Twin Wasp Junior) in which Mr. Howard Hughes flew from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey, at an average speed of 332 m.p.h.
The long-span 1B taxying in with flaps down 19.1.37 after beating the old transcontinental record by almost 2 hours. The normal procedure is to retract flaps after landing and before taxying, preventing damage from stones thrown up by the propeller, but Hughes commonly taxied in with flaps down (see also Gamma and Super Electra)
