Did howard hughes ever give permission to anyone to write about him or use his name sake?

NO not at all in fact he fought to stop clifford irvings paperbacks.Howard hughes was never self incorporated and only public stock company he ever ran was TWA in which he was later forced to sell by the stockholders.He owned LAx before anyone was even flying but that was a forceful take away by the goverment same as his 1964 worldwide broadcasting satellites broadcast the 1964 summer games in Japan-those were taken away by the goverment in the fall of 1964
