Great link!
Here's the photo of scale models of the Hugh's "Spruce Goose" and the Douglas DC-3.
Somewhere there is a video of the filmed flight of the "Spruce Goose". The film gives you no sense of the true size of this behemoth as there is no familiar object against which to compare it. And it's made of wood!

yep...the “Spruce Goose”...made of wood with a wingspan of 320 feet...currently the record and first flew in 1947!!!! AMAZING...having a plane that size now does not seem like such a feat...but using it to launch a rocket is a good idea.
