Kansas Aviation Pioneer Glenn L. Martin and Legacy
A condensed history traces Glenn L. Martin from Kansas roots in Liberal and Salina to founding the Glenn L. Martin Company in California, later merging with Lockheed Martin. It highlights his wartime aircraft production, the first use of aircraft to bomb naval targets, and the lineage of major companies like Boeing, North American, and Bell. The piece notes Claude Ryan from Parsons and urges exploration of Kansas aviation museums in Topeka, Wichita, Liberal, and beyond.
