Isabo, there's more HRH connection in "The Rocketeer" than first appears. In one of the opening scenes on the airfield there is a monohull amphibian with a single radial engine mounted over the fuselage. This is the "Sea Bird," which Hughes flew to the Bahamas from Miami once, and reported that he liked it, but that it needed a Pratt & Whitney, not a Jacobs engine.
Joe, the movie is worth watching if only for the Sikorsky footage.
