In the early 1930s, American engineer Harry Booth, based in Freeport and previously involved in the creation of the Kirkham Air Yacht flying boat, embarked on designing a small flying boat. By 1931, the project culminated in the completion of the aircraft, which was named the Booth Baby Flying Boat, or simply Booth Flying Boat.
Technical Specifications and Design
The Booth Baby Flying Boat was a two-seater biplane, powered by a single piston engine that drove a two-bladed propeller for aerial flight. Uniquely, this flying boat was also equipped with a separate 32-horsepower Johnson outboard engine, specifically designed for water propulsion using a marine propeller.
The Prototype’s Enigma
Despite its innovative design, no records or data concerning the testing of the sole known prototype, identified by the designation 810W, have been preserved. The ultimate fate and performance of this distinctive aircraft remain an enigma for aviation historians.
