Sometimes he goes through the plant, where 6,000 mechanics turn out his ships in a method as nearly resembling straight-line production as fee aircraft industry has yet approximated. But Glenn Martin does not tinker with airplanes any more. He tells other people what he wants. When he returns to his office...
