This is the first Baby and one of only 17 Baby Albatross
sailplanes known to exist. During the mid-1930s, you could buy a ready-to-fly
Baby Albatross for $750.00, minus instruments and cockpit cover, far less
than the $2,500.00 asked for the Bowlus-Du Pont Senior Albatross.
Bowlus made parts for about 90 aircraft and sold between 40 and 60 kits before World War II ended the program.
