The Globe Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft manufacturer, formed in 1941 in Fort Worth, Texas. It was declared bankrupt in 1947.〔 ==History== Originally formed as the Bennet Aircraft Corporation which had been set up before Second World War to develop aircraft using a Bakelite bonded plywood ''Duraloid''.〔 The company first design was the BTC-1 twin engined monoplane.〔 The company was renamed the Globe Aircraft Corporation in 1941 and they produced a single-engined Continental A-80 powered Globe GC-1 Swift.〔 With the start of the war the company abandoned plans to produce the aircraft as it concentrated on sub-contract building of 600 Beech AT-10s〔 and components for other aircraft like the Curtiss C-46.〔 When wartime restrictions were removed the company developed a re-designed and all-metal version of the GC-1 designated the GC-1A Swift which first flew in 1945.〔 The production of the Swift was sub-contracted to the Texas Engineering and Manufacturing Company (TEMCO).〔 In July 1947 the company was declared bankrupt; the assets and design rights of the Swift were bought by TEMCO.〔
