Fairchild was an American aircraft and aerospace manufacturing company based at various times in Farmingdale, New York; Hagerstown, Maryland; and San Antonio, Texas. The company was founded by Sherman Fairchild in 1924 as Fairchild Aviation Corporation, based in Farmingdale, and East Farmingdale, New York. It was established as the parent company for Fairchild's many aviation interests. The company produced the first US aircraft to include a fully enclosed cockpit and hydraulic landing gear, the Fairchild FC-1. It was also known as the Fairchild Aircraft Manufacturing Company. The Fairchild Engine Company was formed with the purchase of the Caminez Engine Company in 1925. In 1929, Sherman Fairchild purchased a majority stock interest in Kreider-Reisner Aircraft Company of Hagerstown, MD. The company moved to Hagerstown in 1931. A series of related designs beginning with the Fairchild FC-1 and continuing to the Fairchild 71 were designed for aerial photography as a result of dissatisfaction towards available aircraft which were incapable of flying steadily enough at a sufficient altitude. In 1935, Fairchild was hired by the US government to do aerial photograph surveys of the United States to track soil erosion and its effects. A corporate history celebrating the first fifty years of Fairchild Aviation, issued as a retrospective overview of the company's development, aircraft production, and technological contributions. The book traces Fairchild's growth from early aviation experimentation through its major roles in military and commercial aircraft manufacturing, with attention to World War II production and postwar aerospace expansion. Richly illustrated with photographs, factory scenes, and aircraft imagery, it reflects mid-20th-century corporate publishing at its height.…
