Facts about
Howard Hughes' final motion picture project, ending his 30-year involvement with the film industry. Jet Pilot, a film he produced in 1949, was released the following year.
Eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes backed the film financially.

He kept a tight hold on the film, not even allowing it to be shown on television, for 17 years. Paramount finally obtained reissue rights in 1974.
