The Glenn L. Martin Aircraft Co. employed 53,000 workers at Middle River at the peak of World War II, producing thousands of aircrafts and bombers and serving as a key economic engine in the Baltimore area. But that was another era. The company — now defense behemoth Lockheed Martin Corp. — announced Thursday it will stop manufacturing at the Middle River site next year, though 470 white-collar professionals will remain there. The move marks the end of a long-term decline for the Baltimore manufacturer that helped build the region's middle-class communities and put Middle River on the map. "That plant was the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world during World War II," said Richard Clinch, economic development director for the Jacob France Institute at the University of Baltimore.
