From Lockheed and Glenn L. Martin to the 1995 merger -- a firm history of Skunk Works, missiles, and prime-contract politics. Lockheed Martin is a 1995 merger name laid over two older aviation companies. Allan Lockheed's firm (1926 in its famous form) became the Skunk Works of the U-2 (1955 first flight) and SR-71, the F-104 Starfighter, and the C-130 Hercules. Glenn L.

Korean procurement memory is thick: F-16, then F-35, and a century of US types in ROK service. That is an alliance-industrial fact on the ROK military page too. Intensity is low (a company, not a campaign). TechShift is high because Skunk Works types changed reconnaissance and, later, the F-35 changed a generation of air-force politics.
Vegas, Electras, then war transports and the postwar Skunk Works. The F-104's German crash scandal and the C-130's endless career are two morals in one catalogue. Glenn Martin's bombers; Titan as an ICBM and a space launcher; a Denver-and-Maryland industrial geography.
