Fight Fire with Fire - a photo on Flickriver

Formed in 1929 by the merging of 12 different companies, this was once the largest aviation company in the United States. Throughout the 1930's, they built aircraft for the military, commercial & private markets however the engine division's longstanding relationship with the military helped them through the difficult times of the great depression. In 1937 the development of a new fighter aircraft, the P-36, resulted in the largest peacetime aircraft order by the Army Air Corps as well as sales abroad which were used in the early days of World War II. After the Second World War the manufacturer was unable to transition to jet engine technology & improved wing & plane design despite several failed attempts. The lag in technology resulted in them losing several military contracts to competitors & sealing their fate causing the shutdown of their Aeroplane Division.
