esigning and building an
aircraft that flies is a challenge and developing one
that flies with cargo is even
more of a challenge for critical thinking skills. Two teams of students
took on the task of building a cargo
aircraft for the Maryland Engineering
Aircraft Challenge held in the Museum's Aerospace Learning Center
(ALC) in April. Sponsored by the
American Institute of Aeronautics
and Astronautics. with support from
the Baltimore Museum of Industry,
the Engineering Challenge is open to
high school students throughout the
state.
Students were to
design
and construct an electric-powered
model aircraft to fly a tethered flight
of at least one lap without cargo,
followed by a second flight of one lap
carrying as much cargo as possible.
Both laps used power supplied by a
power pole, limited by the maximum
output of the transformer, approximately 13 VDC. This challenge involved four main components: the
design and construction of the project, a written report, an oral report,
and the performance demonstration.

The Flying Mustangs team
Marriottsville, MD included Lauryn
Curtis, Tim Dud ley and Tony
Ping. When asked why she entered
the contest, future rocket scientist
Lauryn said "I have loved airplanes
forever! My dad works with the FAA
and I have been around planes for a
lifetime". In their first year of entering
this competition, her team mates.
Tim and Tony enjoyed the opportunity to take on the challenge of getting an aircraft into the air. The
team's advisor, teacher Roy Resnik
shared how his students progressed
over the school year as they worked
on their aircraft. "They spent a good
amount of time researching, discovering how the aircraft parts go together, and trying 20 to 30 different
wing designs."
The Supa Fly team represented the Charles Herbert Flowers
High School from Springdale, MD.
This team of two enterprising young
women entered the competition for a
second year. One senior, Erica Sellers likes airplanes as a hobby and is
pursuing a career in aircraft maintenance. Teammate Erika Jackson
entered the 2007 Challenge as a
research project for a grade. She
entered this year in an attempt to
better last year's third place
win. Their advisor, Miss Lee. was
very pleased with the progress her
students had made in designing this
year's aircraft.

Preparing for Aerospace Learning Center Take-Off
By Debi Wynn
s the Museum prepares for
the grand opening of its
Aerospace Learning Center, I have been ably assisted in program planning with two
Education Program Managers, Janet
Bucklew and Richard Gabryszewski,
thanks to a grant awarded to the Museum from the Knott Foundation.
Both of these folks bring to the
GLMMAM skills and lessons learned
from experience working with various
museum and historic sites. As
you come to the Museum for your
restoration activities, docenting, or to
attend speaker nights, the Waterfest
festival, and other events, please
introduce yourself to Janet and Richard and if you have aviation information to share on the Martin Company,
the science of flight and other related
topics for use in our program planning, please relay it to myself, Janet
or Richard.
A
To introduce these new folks
to you, I share with you their stories,
in their own words as to their backgrounds and what it is that inspires
their interest in aviation and museums. They both began volunteering
with the Museum in June, 2007 and
they have been flying high with "to
do" lists ever since they walked
through the doors of Hangar 5.
Richard : I was born in Temple, Texas while my father, an Army
Officer, was stationed at Ft. Hood,
Texas. It was in my youth as we traveled from base to base that my love
for the F-4 Phantom grew. In the
early 1980's when my dad was stationed at Selfridge Air National
Guard Base in Michigan a flight of
four F-4 Phantoms would roar over
the house every morning. The rumble from the planes vibrated throughout the house rattling dishes and
pounding your heart. Submarine
Hunters, E-3 Sentry's, squadrons of
Huey's, C-S's and C-130's were a
common sight when I was growing
up. One hasn't lived until they experience an F-4 low flying over their
house in the pre-dawn hours. I have
Janet Bucklew and Richard Gabryszewskl
been hooked on planes ever since. I
was a member of the Civil Air Patrol
in htgh school where I began flying
lessons on a Cessna 172. My Civil
Air Patrol experience is something I
will always remember.
I have done living history
and various displays for Harper's
Ferry National Park, Jamestown
Festival Park, Marietta Mansion, the
FOR Museum, the Reading Air show
in Reading, Pennsylvania, Eisenhower's Farm, and the Strasburg
Railroad Museum to name just a
few. I've also done extensive displays for military functions, town festivals, parades. and schools. When I
was living in Hagerstown, Maryland,
my father and I helped make the
movie, Gettysburg. I have added
WWII re-enacting to my list of hobbies. I have also helped make documentaries of WWII. Every year I participate in the WWII activities aboard
the Liberty ship, the John W. Brown.
My father's uncle helped
build the Liberty ship and so the ship
has a personal connection to me.
Over the years through my volunteering, I've been honored to meet
many veterans and have learned first
hand through their accounts what life
was really like for Gl's. I feel especially proud that I got to meet Dick
Winters and the crew of the Bocks
Car. Re-enacting has enabled me to
ride in WWII tanks and vehicles,
climb through all kinds of planes and
bombers, and I even got to participate in a demonstration of an actual
beach landing from an LST in Solomon's Island.
I've been to many fascinat-
ing places across the United States
as well as France, Germany, Austria,
and Italy. I enjoy traveling whenever
I get the chance and naturally aviation museums and museums in general are a favorite attraction. Trains
are another passion of mine, both
real ones and toy ones, and if I'm not
visiting an air and space museum , I'll
be found at a train museum. In college I was in Army ROTC and attended Basic Training at Ft. Knox,
KY. That was a great adventure and
my connections with the army and
re-enacting have gotten me on flights
on Huey's, Blackhawk's, Stearman
bi-planes, C-130's, and special access to aircraft usually off limits.
I graduated from Towson
University with a Bachelors degree in
Archaeology. I worked as an archaeologist for several years working on
sites across Maryland and Virginia. I
even worked on the 1000 acre site
around the Route 43 extension near
Martin State Airport. I am currently
attending the University of Maryland
Baltimore County working on my
Master's Degree in History. In fact
our very own F-4C Phantom II at the
museum is my topic of choice for
grad work. My years of museum living history and display experience is
an asset from which I draw upon. I'm
very excited to be part of the crew
that is paving the way for a bright
new future for the Glenn L. Martin
Museum."
Janet: I grew up in the Essex-Middle River area, graduating
from Kenwood High School before
earning my B.S. in geography and
environmental planning from Towson
State College (now Towson University}. My husband Wayne served in
the Air Force during the Vietnam
War and was stationed in Thailand,
where he repaired aircraft radios. He
is now a systems programmer and
manages data for a company in
Woodlawn. We moved to York
County, Pa. , where for the past
twenty-four years we have been
renovating a home once used by the
Bachman Valley Railroad as a genfContllllll'd 011 pugt! JJ

eral store, post office, and cobbler's
shop. We share our home with our
daughter Stacey, a student at Harrisburg Area Community College and
son Nathaniel, who will graduate
from York College of PA in May with
a degree in Mass Communications.
We have a cat named Tattoo, and
two dogs: Verona ltalia (a Border
Collie mix), and Declan O'Connor, a
Border Collie. (Yes, our dogs have
middle names.)
I returned to college, earning
a B.A. in History from York College
of PA, and in December 2007 was
awarded my M.A. in American Studies from Pennsylvania State UniverSity. I spent six years as a seasonal
park ranger at Gettysburg National
Military Park, and three years as development officer for the National
Museum of Civil War Medicine in
Frederick. MD. I have presented programs for the Office of Personal
Management, living history programs, Civil War Roundtables, and
conferences.
In addition to the American
Civil War, my interests include: military medicine, WWI, the War of
1812, and the role of women in conflict. I am currently working with the
Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent
de Paul in Emmitsburg as they compile the experiences of sister-nurses
during the Civil War. This effort is
part of their 2009 anniversary celebration of the founding of the order in
America by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
in 1809 My favorite quote is:
"growing old is mandatory, growing
up is optional. " I have written grants
for the Museum, as well as helping
to develop the Museum gift shop. I
love history and feel that being a part
of the GLMMAM is a way to honor
my father who served aboard the
U.S.S. Quillback during WWII.
tive cheers echoed throughout the
Learning Facility. Competition judges
were Victor Lougheed and Tom Milnes from the AIAA, Dr. Robert Terry,
Director of Aerospace Education for
the Civil Air Patrol, and David
Wainland, also of the CAP. This
panel had a difficult decision as both
teams produced quality work in their
model aircraft construction. When
the points for the four components of
the competition were totaled, the
winner of the 2008 Cargo Aircraft
Challenge was the Supa Fly team
from Prince Georges County, with
The Flying Mustangs coming
in second. The winning team of Ms
Sellers and Ms Jackson were very
excited to come from last year's third
place finish to become this year's
first place champions.
Mike Shealey, Director of the
Maryland Center for Career and
Technology Education Studies, and
Project Manager Melinda Brantel

Marv had a storied life in and
around aviation circles. He was
awarded the prestigious Maryland
Aviation Pioneer Award for his lifelong contributions and achievements
in aviation. Marv worked for the
Glenn L. Martin Company where he
started as a riveter and worked on
historic Martin aircraft including, the
Martin Maryland, B-10, China Clipper
seaplanes, and the SeaMaster. Marv
also worked with Bendix, flying
around the world testing electronic
systems for NASA's manned space
program .

TIME CAPSULE- MARTIN 202: THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN AIRLINER
By AI LaPorte
s World War II drew to an
end the major aircraft companies throughout the
country began to plan how
best to survive the inevitable sudden
loss in production jobs in a peacetime America.
A
At the Glenn L. Martin Company, planning continued on next
generation military aircraft but it was
obvious that the post war future of
aviation would be heavily vested in
commercial passenger and cargo
transportation. Not smce the M-130
Clipper ships had Martin been involved in commercial air transport
and the Company's exposure in that
market was considerably limited and
not profitable. Planning had been
under way for a number of years to
evolve the huge Martin Mars flying
boat into a post-war commercial passenger and cargo variant on the
Navy model and, while that effort
was still in the works, the Company
chose to venture into the land based
passenger plane market as well. The
decision was made to develop a
commercial transport that would
serve to replace the aging Douglas
DC-3 (some of which are still flying
today!!).
Design specifications called
for a twin engine aircraft carrying 40
passengers and a crew of three at a
cruise speed of 250 mph. The aircraft would be powered by two Pratt
& Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp
engines proven in combat on the
Martin Marauder and a host of other
military aircraft during the war. Glenn
L. Martin Company press release no.
999 dated October 17, 1945 relates
the early development efforts of what
would become known as the Martin
202:
"The new Martin 202 high speed
transport today was revealed as the
first airliner ever specifically designed to incorporate features long
desired by employees in all echelons
of airline operation.

were remedied but the 202 never
recovered its marketability. Lessons
learned from the 202 experience
ultimately led to the design and production of the successor model 404
in 1950. The 404 was a larger, more
powerful (R-2800s with turbo superchargers), faster with a 280mph
cruising speed and featured a pressurized cabin. A total of 103 404s
were built and were in service with
Eastern Airlines and TWA for many
years. Two 404s were used by the
Coast Guard and later the Navy. After their time with the domestic lines
some were adapted for use with regional lines and as executive aircraft.
The Mid Atlantic Air Museum in

HANGAR TALK
A
ircraft preservation work
(Spring/Summer session)
has begun in earnest at our
Strawberry Point aircraft
display site. Equipment engines that
have been idle over the winter are
being reconditioned for the season's
use and bird proofing efforts are
once again underway. Assisting in
the work are a number of new volunteers. We welcome Ted Cooper, Bill
Butler, John Elliott, and Herb Jones
who have joined our ranks and are
actively involved in supporting the
Museum's programs.
The setting up of a shop
area in the Museum's new Aerospace Learning Center (ALC) is progressing. Tools and equipment have
been put in place and workbench
lighting has been installed. We plan
to use the shop space to support
aircraft restoration projects as well
as being a tool and equipment resource for use in maintaining the
display aircraft at Strawberry Point.
The recently donated home built
Pietenpol Air Camper presently occupies space in the shop area. The
airframe structure will at least remain
partially uncovered to enable students to observe first hand the nature of the aircraft's structure and
control system layout.
Displays and exhibits have
been relocated to the ALC including
a navigation beacon from the 1920's
era which was located on top of
Reeser's Summit near Harrisburg,
PA. This unit served to guide aviators flying mail routes and remains in
fully operational condition. Other additions include a restored Martin B26 rudder assembly and numerous
display panels. Several large scale
models of historic aircraft are available and will soon be on display as
well. The general layout of the ALC
is sufficiently complete to allow the
Museum to conduct limited programs
and activities. This past April 19th the
