1. The Howard Hugh's H-4 Hercules or Spruce Goose. This Bad boy was finished building in 1947 and just missed WWII action. It had a wingspan of 319ft 11in. This 8 engine monster was truly a work of art.

check this out the An-124 is smaller but I believe the An-225 was mothballed with the Russian space shuttle collapse.

Antonov An-225 (or is it 255) a.k.a. "Myria" which means "Dream" in English.
