- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Lockheed Martin. Georgia's aircraft industry has played a vital role in the nation's defense and has been a central factor in the state's economic resurgence since World War II (1941-45). The arrival of the Bell Aircraft Corporation to the state in 1942 began a long tradition of aviation activity in Georgia, which continues today with the Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems Company in Marietta.
