This special bonus episode describes the early history of Glenn L. Martin, the man who made Stanley's plane, the famed B-26 Martin Marauder. Martin, known as "The Flying Dude," began his aviation career building a bi-plane in an empty former Methodist church in downtown Santa Ana in 1909. Michael G. Sievers, the writer, producer & creator of "The Silver King's War," discusses Glenn Martin's development as an industrial giant who built the B-26 in Middle River, Maryland. A small part of the war's industrial irony is that our hero, The Silver King, was posted to the Santa Ana Army Air Base in June 1943 during his training to become an Army Air Corps Bombardier-Navigator.
