I guess an aliteration like the Birch Bitch didn't appeal to them.

Believe it or not, this one is NOT a flying boat. Talk about hubris!
One bubble in fuel and they crash! Save the spruce for my oars.

Do a google search on WIGs (Wing In Ground Effect). You'll be amazed at the
size and variety of WIGs out there. You can even buy plans from Universal
Hovercraft to build your own 2 place WIG. The Russians built huge troop
transports, as large or larger as the Pelican.

That concept has been tried before, I remember seeing a small flying boat
back in the 70's-80's that was never intended to raise above ground

Somehow, I think Bruce is going to get an idea from this one.
