| In
1929, Mr. Glenn L. Martin, a pioneer aviation designer and constructor,
purchased 1,260 acres twelve miles east of Baltimore for the purpose of
creating an aircraft manufacturing site for the Glenn L. Martin Aircraft
Company. One of the first aircraft produced at Martin was the B-10, in
1932, which brought the company of the Collier Trophy. Construction of
three runways, Hangars 1-2-3, and the Airport Administration Building
took place during 1939-1940. Hangars 4-5-6 and the Strawberry Point Hangar
were completed in 1940-1941. The China Clipper, PBM flying boats, B-26
bomber and Martin Mars were produced in these facilities. During the post-World
War II period, the Martini 202 and 404 commercial transports, as well
as jet-powered aircraft, were produced. The Martin Company consolidated
with the American Marietta Corporation in September 1961 to form the Martin
Marietta Corporation. The acreage devoted to airfield use, namely 747
acres, was sold on September 20, 1975, to the State of Maryland. In its
role of fostering and developing aviation, the State's purpose in purchasing
the Airport was to ensure the retention of a General Aviation facility
close to Baltimore. |
