About Lockheed
Lockheed Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : Lockheed Corporation (originally Loughead Aircraft Manufacturing Company) was an American aerospace company originally founded in 1912 which merged with Martin Marietta in 1995 to formLockhed Martin. The Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company was established in 1912 by the brothers Allan and Malcolm Loughead.

The company sold 40 in the first year of production. Amelia Earheart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, flew this plane on their failed attempt to circumnavigate the world in 1937. The Electra also formed the basis for the Hudson bomber, which was supplied to both the British Royal Air Force ...
