I am 67 years old, grew up on Pelczar Ave in Middle River. My dad worked for Glenn L. Martin Co. I remember when the Canberra flew in, I think Martins was going to modify it to a two seater. I was in the crowd that day. My dad was Tony John Anzick a forman at plant 2 for years. Worked on the PBM's, also the huge SeaMaster. I have got to bring my grand kids to the museum. I know dad would have loved it, he surely loved working there. Dad passed away on 10-20-1976

I just came across your web page and became aware of your museum. I am the sole surviving member of the flight/test crew for the original OLD LADY the XPB2M-1R. I was also a member of the Navy Test and ferry crews which accepted the JRM-1 aircraft and ferryed them to NAS Alameda. At my first opportunity I plan to visit your facility. My present are (85) places some restrictions on extensive travel. Best wishes. Sorry you were unsuccessful in acquiring one of the JRM AIRCRAFT when they were declares surplus.....

My dad was Albert S. Ozier, and he worked as a tool draftsman for Mr. Glenn L. Martin from 1940's until 1975. Is there anyone out there that remembers working with him ? My personal memories are "open House Day" at the airport to see where our parents worked , and the annual company picnics at Carlins amusement Park with Mr. Martin splended in his white suit standing on the stairs of the entertainment hall . I have been raised with pride in our Government ,in our military and in our flag . I was also raised with respect and pride for the hardworking people that made up our community , and I feel that respect everytime I pass Martin-Marrietta and see our military planes . God Bless .

I worked there in the late 80's and early 90's, when the museum was founded. The listing of aircraft at the museum doesn't include an operational Martin 404. Visit the passenger cabin, and you'll see how comparatively cramped it is to fly today.

I was born on Dogwood Dr. in Middle River in 1942. My father and mother worked at Martins. I watched the big air ships land in the water from my back yard.

I have been a member of the museum since its inception in 1990. We have changed our name and scope slightly. We are now known as the Glenn L. Martin Maryland Aviation Museum. We have expanded our vision to include contributions by other Maryland firms and Maryland to the field of aerospace. Our website has changed to http://www.marylandaviationmuseum.org We now have a guest speaker program for our monthly meetings. These speakers have included test pilots, astronauts, aero-historians, and military commanders. I have noticed that others have commented on the condition of our aircraft on outdoor display. As anyone involved in this field knows, maintaining display aircraft outdoors is a difficult task. This is especially true with an all volunteer group such as ours. We are currently planning new indoor facilities so that our aircraft can move out of the elements and more of our archival material can be displayed. For more details, contact our website or call 410-682-6122. Gene DiGennaro Jr. Baltimore Md.

Greetings, I will be brief here. I have a WWII Waco CG15-A Combat Glider for sale. It is 65% restored. This was the last model the US built before the war ended. The first was the CG4-A, and the last was the CG15-A. The CG15-A did see combat toward the war\'s end. There are to our knowledge only 4 restored gliders in the world. If interested, I can be reached at 770-719-2365. I live in Fayetteville, Georgia USA. Respectfully Chaplain Retired LTC Knox Herndon

After graduation from Penn State Extension in Scranton, PA, in June 1953, I was hired by the Glenn L. Martin Company as a design draftsman. While at the Martim Co., I worked in Enginering on the B-57 Canberra bomber. I worked on drawings for the Model B, RB-57B, the tow target model, and the D model; a high altitude recon aircraft with extended wings and improved engines. I have visited the museum many times, and can only heap accolades on the museum. Great job! Tom Kilker Cub Hill., MD
