    The bulk of this collection appears to be material related to Jack Real's research about his best friend, Howard Hughes. There are multiple drafts of "The Real Story" and a final draft of "Howard's Last Best Friend," which appears to be an earlier version of "The Asylum of Howard Hughes," (2003). Other research material includes excerpts from various texts, newsletters, aircraft information, correspondence, permission requests, and feedback about the book. It also appears that Real also used the weekly agendas and memos from the Evergreen Aviation & Museum for his book as well.
