In 1944, as jet propulsion was being introduced to aviation and over- the-side bail out procedures less practical, Sir James Martin was invited by the British Royal Air Force to explore forced ejection. A 16 feet ejection tower was first used for this effort. A short time later a 65 feet test rig was erected at Martin-Baker Aircraft, Denham. The first ejection tower in the United States was built at the Philadelphia Naval Yard in 1946 and was essentially the same design as the 65 feet tower used by Martin-Baker.
