Abstract:	We prove that the only compact projective Hughes planes which are smooth projective planes are the classical planes over the complex numbers C, the quaternions H, and the Caley numbers O. As a by-product this shows that an 8-dimensional smooth projective plane which admits a collineation group of dimension d≥17 is isomorphic to the quaternion projective plane P 2 H. For topological compact projective planes this is true if d≥19, and this bound is sharp.
