Did Hughes deserve a Noble Peace Prize for his efforts?

Oh agreed, not only he could survive a devastating aircraft accident (one of the worst single passenger accidents EVER) but I really meant was the hospital bed he was in was so uncomfortable he designed a new one and we still use them today. A genius, an absolute genius!

Did you see the redesigned bed on the 2 disc of the "Aviator"? I still cant see how he survived that crash. Photos are on the same disc and with the damage it appeared as if a jet crashed in a residentual area but it was him doing 155 mph and the tanks full of gas.

I dont recall if anyone was injured or killed but I suspect they wouldn't mention it on disc 2. I noticed that disc 2 was very positive and didn't reflect any of HH personal problems in detail. The only exception would be his addiction to morphine and codeine in his hospital stay. I went to ebay looking for crash information under HH. I suppose I will need the best biography available to satisfy my curiosity.

He may not have deserved a "peace prize", as he didn't really do anything for peace, but every time he attempted something he set for it new standards and records. He deserved a Nobel prize in some form or another.
