The Eaton brothers' airplane venture ended later in 1912 when Warren became associated with Roy Knabenshue in the design and construction of a 12-passenger airship at Pasadena, California. Following the completion of this craft in 1913, Eaton joined Glen Martin as design engineer. While there he assisted with the first Martin tractor biplanes that successfully passed government tests and were accepted as advanced-trainers.

In April, 1914, Eaton became associated with Lincoln Beachey to design and assist in the construction of a small special Gnome-engined biplane for looping. Working with Art Mix and Al Hofer, this machine was made in a basement workshop in Chicago, Illinois; it was completed in early May. Beachey began flying it at Ashburn Field. Eaton remained with Beachey and Art Mix on the exhibition tour that season, during which Beachey gained great fame for his sensational looping and acrobatic flying throughout the country.

Toward the end of the 1914 season Beachey wanted a monoplane, and later that fall Eaton designed and, with the assistance of Hillery Beachey, brother of Lincoln, started the construction of a 26-foot-span, wire-braced [[strikethrough]] plane of this type [[/strikethrough]] monoplane to Beachey's express specifications. Called the "Beachey-Eaton Monoplane" it was an enclosed fuselage machine, powered by an 80 h.p. Gnome rotary engine, and had a tricycle landing gear.

Completed early in 1915, Beachey started flying it at the Christofferson brothers' flying field at San Francisco Beach. He was looping at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at that time using his biplane, then following some testing he decided to start using the monoplane on March 13th. The next day he flew it again and was killed while performing his usual stunts.

After this unfortunate ending of the Beachey association Eaton later joined the Canadian Aircraft Company, Toronto, Canada, then as 1915 ended, he organized the New York Aero Construction Company with offices in New York City and a factory in Newark, New Jersey. There Eaton designed and supervised the construction of a large twin-engine, 73-foot-span, twin-float-type biplane, using
