Glenn L. Martin; Charles Willard, chief engineer, 1913-1914; joined 1915 by Donald Douglas (later of McDonnell Douglas Corp.), who helped develop new aeroplanes. Charles Healy Day was designer in 1911 but left because he wanted to built a tractor and Martin did not. Day returned to Martin in mid-1913 and designed Martin's first seaplane but apparently left again in 1914 to work for himself for a short while before joining Sloane Aeroplane Co.
Produced pusher and headless and semi-headless pushers 1911-1912 and variations of Model T tandem-seat tractor biplanes for land and sea from 1913, apparently for U.S. Army. Company merged with Wright Aircraft Co. and several other companies, 1916, to form Wright-Martin Aircraft Corp.
Source: 2dG389, Keith Rider started with Martin, 1913, then moved to Douglas. Rider may have been a key individual.
