Fairchild was an American aircraft and aerospace manufacturer, based at different times in Farmingdale, New York; Hagerstown, Maryland; and San Antonio, Texas. Sherman Fairchild founded it in 1924 as Fairchild Aviation Corporation, the parent of his many aviation interests. It built aerial survey aircraft in the 1930s and trainers and transports in the Second World War. Afterwards it produced the C-119 Flying Boxcar and the C-123 Provider, the Fairchild F-27 under a Fokker licence, the Swearingen Metroliner and the A-10 Thunderbolt II. After the company took over Dornier's civil assets in 1996 it was renamed Fairchild Dornier. Allianz and Clayton, Dubilier and Rice bought Fairchild Aerospace in December 1999, and the assets passed to M7 Aerospace in 2003.
