1942 GC-1   Swift
Globe Aircraft was incorporated in Fort Worth, Texas as Bennett Aircraft in 1940 and changed its name to Globe Aircraft in 1941.  It developed the BTC-1 8-seat twin-engined aircraft and the GC-1 Swift.  Both of these aircraft were put on the back-burner during World War II while the company built Beech AT-10 trainers.

After the war, TEMCO took over rights to the Swift when Globe failed in 1947.
