Description: Actress Greta Nissan with pilot Roscoe Turner, Howard Hughes and pilot Carline Turner, beside an airplane. Nissan was cast in the film Hell's Angels, directed by Howard Hughes in 1927-1928. She left the film midway through because she spoke with a Norwegian accent and the film changed from silent film to talking.
