- SIGNED EDITION. This copy has been signed, with a short, inscription by one of Orange County's most famous Aviators -, Eddie Martin. This book is in Very Good+ condition and has a, Very Good dust jacket. The book and its contents are in, generally clean, bright condition. There is a light slant to, the spine of the book. The text pages are clean and bright. The, dust jacket has some generalized fading, especially the spine., There are a couple of small spots of discoloration and, ground-in dirt to the covers. "Martin’s first flying license, was signed by Orville Wright. In 1921 he founded Martin, Aviation, now the oldest and largest general aviation operator, at John Wayne Airport. Two years later, he leased a dirt, landing strip from the Irvine family and opened Eddie Martin, Airport. In 1926, he built the first hangar at the airfield,, and then bought a French World War I-era plane in which he flew, stunts over Santa Ana to drum up customers for his fledgling, flight school. By the 1930s, Eddie Martin Airport was, recognized as one of the most modern in the country with, restrooms, a restaurant and runway lights. But in 1939, to meet, the increasing air travel demands of a growing agricultural and, commercial region, county officials arranged a land swap with, the Irvine Co. To build a new, bigger airport about a mile from, Martin’s strip. By then, Martin had sold Martin Aviation to his, younger brother, Floyd, who along with Martin’s longtime, mechanic, Joe Hager, also took over operation of the new county, airport." (from L. A. Times obituary)
