Overview_________________________________________________________________________________________ |
| Arthur Marshall was born in Cambridge, England and was
educated at the Perse School in Cambridge and at
Tonbridge School in Kent, completing his education at
Jesus College, Cambridge, in 1922, where he earned a
degree in engineering. |
| He learned to fly in 1928, and shortly thereafter
created an airstrip near his family's Cambridge home,
which by 1929 had turned into a full-fledged airfield.
Six years later, Marshall and his father, David, bought
the land where the present Cambridge Airport now stands
and started Marshall Aerospace |
| To commemorate Sir Arthur's lifelong interest in
aviation, the Marshall family donated a trophy to the
Air Training Corps to be presented to
"The Most Improved Squadron in the
ATC over a Protracted Period of Time". |
