| CZ Cleveland, OH | The GLENN L. MARTIN CO. was brought from California to Cleveland, Ohio, in 1918-19. The first Cleveland-built plane was constructed by his company at their plant (which had an adjacent airstrip) at 16800 St. Clair. The company, known for being innovative, produced mail airplanes, a standard, commercially successful bomber plane (the Martin Bomber or MB-1 and MB-2), and developed hydraulic landing gear. The company became primarily a military contractor, and in 1929 relocated to Baltimore, Maryland.
