Glenn L. Martin (1886-1955) established one of the first airplane factories in the U.S. in
Santa Ana, California in 1909. He began building aircraft for the U.S. Army in 1914. In
1917, Martin formed The Glenn L. Martin Company based in Cleveland, Ohio. During
WWII, Martin's specialties were the B-10 and B-26 Marauder bombers. He is enshrined
in the National Aviation Hall of Fame. Heavily toned. Worn and creased with multiple
folds. Corners and parts of edges removed. Left edge irregular, rendering first few words of
each line (beginning the fifth line down) difficult to decipher. "1305" stamped near sending
date and location. Otherwise, fine condition.
