| | Abstract: | The Glenn L. Martin Company was founded by Glenn L. Martin, a pioneer airplane manufacturer. It incorporated in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1917 and remained until 1929, when Martin moved the company to Essex, Maryland. The company produced aircraft for military use. The Glenn L. Martin Company also built mail and passenger planes. It eventually evolved into the Martin Marietta Corporation. The collection consists of views of various aircraft and blimps, the Cleveland plant, and an R.A.F. jet bomber in Essex, Maryland, after a 1950s transatlantic flight. Also includes group portraits of Glenn L. Martin employees, interior and aerial views of the Glenn L. Martin plant in Cleveland, and postcards of the Glenn L. Martin plant in Essex, Maryland. | |
