Memos detail an FBI investigation into the wiretapping of Hughes by Congressional investigators. Latter memos chronicle the onset of Hughes' peculiar behavior. Much attention is given to Hughes' 1970 disappearance. Files includes memos and FBI lab reports dealing with the investigation of the "Mormon Will" naming Melvin Dummar.as a beneficiary.

Howard Hughes was born to a wealthy family. Orphaned at 17, he dropped out of school to take control of the family business, the Hughes Tool Company. Although Hughes maintained control of the company, he quickly set out for Los Angeles to pursue two main goals, to become a famous movie producer and the world's best pilot. Howard Hughes combined certain aspects of his two dreams when he produced and directed the movie Hell's Angels (1930), a romantic vision of World War I aviators. The film took three years to make, cost $3.8 million to produce, and killed three pilots in the process. It also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Cinematography. To make the film, Howard Hughes accumulated the world' largest private air force, accumulating 87 vintage Spads, Fokkers and Sopwith Camels. Hughes directed the aerial combat scenes filmed over Mines Field, now the location of Los Angeles International Airport. Hughes also crashed during the filming and was pulled unconscious from his plane. Parts of the film had to be re-shot, due to the increasing popularity of talking pictures. The film was not able to recoup at the box office its $3.8 million price tag, the most expensive film produced up to that point.
