Dutton's invention of a flying horse

My flying horse is a large, black and white horse with a short mane, and it was named after a character from the movie Dumbo.

In his autobiography, Dutton wrote that it took him two years to design and build his own flying horse, "the first of my many and many inventions". He claimed it was a one-off project, and that he did not make any more flying horses.

In the book, the book claims Dutton was not a natural inventor. This is a claim that Dutton would refute later in his autobiography.

The flying horse was a "flying" horse, a horse that would fly, by gravity and aerodynamics.

Dutton's first flying horse was designed on the same scale as an ordinary horse, but had no front legs and wings. It was, in fact, quite a small creature, which was the size of a chicken.
