The Globe Aircraft Corporation was an American aircraft manufacturer formed in 1940 in Fort Worth, Texas. It was declared bankrupt in 1947.^[2]

The Bennett Aircraft Corporation was originally formed on 5 April 1940 to develop aircraft using a Bakelite bonded plywood Duraloid.^[2][3] The company's first design was the BTC-1 twin engined monoplane.^[2] The company was renamed the Globe Aircraft Corporation in 1941 and they produced a single-engined Continental A-80 powered Globe GC-1 Swift.^[2]

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^[4] and components for other aircraft like the Curtiss C-46.^[2]

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.^[2] The production of the Swift was sub-contracted to the Texas Engineering and Manufacturing Company (TEMCO).^[2] In July 1947 the company was declared bankrupt; the assets and design rights of the Swift were bought by TEMCO.^[2]
