Howard Hughes was involved in a near-fatal aircraft accident on July 7, 1946, while performing the first flight of the prototype U.S. Army Air Force reconnaissance aircraft, the XF-11, near Hughes airfield at Culver City, California. An oil leak caused one of the contra-rotating propellers to reverse pitch, causing the aircraft to yaw sharply and lose altitude rapidly. Hughes tried to save the craft by landing it at the Los Angeles Country Club golf course, but just seconds before reaching the course, the XF-11 started to drop dramatically and crashed in the Beverly Hills neighborhood surrounding the country club.
According to the aviation history website Check-Six.com. Hughes hit two houses on North Linden Drive and one on Whittier Drive. One of the houses was 805 N. Linden, which at the time belonged to the actress Rosemary DeCamp ("best known for her role as James Cagney's mother in Yankee Doodle Dandy"). The plane "sliced through the bedroom where her and her husband, John Staler, were, and ripped across the couple's garage rooftop." The event was depicted in Martin Scorsese's film The Aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio playing Hughes.
Today, the house is owned by Morad Ben Neman, a real estate investor who was indicted for allegedly money laundering for the Sinaloa drug cartel. He put the house, which was designed by Wallace Neff, on the market for $14.95 million in 2017.
