I think this is a different Horton, not Hornten brothers.

Horton
William E Horton, Santa Ana CA.
Horton Wingless Original [N87698] (Al Backstrom coll)
Horton Wingless with and without motors [N39C] (Frank Rezich coll)
Horton Wingless [N39C] (Popular Science)
Wingless 1951 = 2pC flying wing; two 225hp Jacobs and extended driveshafts; span: 40'0". Not truly wingless, but essentially a highly-modified Cessna UC-78 with a more airfoil-shaped fuselage than wing. POP: 1 [N39C]. Although this innovative protoype flew successfully, no backers were attracted, and the project was abandoned, with the plane eventually being deliberately burned.
