While The Martin Company's best-known airliners flew in the post-war era, the group dates back somewhat further. Formed in August 1912 by Glenn Luther Martin, much of the company's early work involved producing military training aircraft. Martin also indirectly catalyzed the formation of Boeing, as he is said to have taught William Boeing how to fl...
Having re-established the company, the First World War gave Martin its first big shot at success. It took this in the form of the biplane MB-1 bomber, of which it produced 20.

The 4-0-4 proved to be the last airliner that The Martin Company produced. Six years after its founder's death, the company merged with the American-Marietta Corporation to form Martin Marietta. This prompted a change of focus, and saw the newly formed company instead focus on the production of missiles and experimental jet-powered aircraft. By 199...
