on the outset of world war ii, the demand for production in industries rose. with many men overseas in the military, women were called on the help the war effort by taking on nontraditional roles including industrial jobs. this was especially the case at the glenn l. martin plant in middle river, maryland. the glenn l. martin plant built many of the bomber planes used by american and british forces during the war. because the production at the martin plant was so crucial to the war effort, the company began recruiting women from across the country in 1942 to keep production running during the war. women flooded into to baltimore for the opportunity to work at the martin company .

martin' s company flourished and had to be moved to los angeles, california in 1912 in order to accommodate the orders. in 1917, a short - lived partnership with the wright brothers produced the wright - martin aircraft corporation, but in the same year, martin reestablished his own company and moved it to cleveland, ohio. in 1929, because of higher demands and lack of sufficient space, martin moved his company once again, but this time to middle river, maryland .
