The Grahame-White Baby was an early British sports airplane designed by pioneer aviator Claude Grahame-White. It was a single-seat biplane driven by a pusher propeller, its design essentially similar to that of a scaled-down Farman biplane of the day (hence the moniker "Baby"). The Burgess Company in the United States purchased a licence to built it as the Model E.
