Blog: LM mag’s new website out

So Lockheed Martin's magazine, Code One, has unveiled a new avatar on the internet. The magazine, which has been around since 1986, set up its website in '96. “The site has been revised several times since then, but none to the extent of this most recent update,” says the release. There's no elaborate navigation on top and that makes it pretty easy for a user to find something. It's all there in the body of the homepage, with a slideshow of stories as the lead. Could be more descriptive though. That way, Lockheed Martin's website is pretty straightforward as well, although it does leave you with a sense that either the page hasn't loaded entirely or maybe construction isn't complete. Code One's website has the latest company news, image and video releases under the magazine article slideshow, where right now they've got a difficult-to-focus on collage of the covers of their old print issues as their first slide. But admittedly, some of the cover images make you pause. But if you've got an aviation history itch that needs scratching, Code One's website is especially cool, as they’ve got their hands on Lockheed Martin's film archives, and uploaded footage of first flights of some aircraft the company (including its predecessor companies) has produced in the past. So far they've got the XB-24, the seed of the Second World War Liberator bomber, XF-104, YC-130 (of course) and the so-sharp-it-could-cut-you A-12 (not to be confused with the at least-as-sharp-looking McDonnell Douglas-General Dynamics carrier-borne stealth bomber, Avenger, canceled in 1991), the patriarch of aircraft like the YF-12 and the (Woohoo!) SR-71 Blackbird.
