VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image is a vintage advertisement celebrating "THE FIRST CROSSING OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC BY AIR. " It features a map that highlights the flight path from Lisbon, Portugal to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The route crosses over parts of the Atlantic Ocean and Africa, with notable waypoints such as Cape Verde and São Paulo Rocks indicated. The text below the map provides additional details: "LISBON to RIO DE JANEIRO, 4517 miles in 62½ flying hours. " This indicates the distance covered and time taken for this historic journey. Further information credits individuals involved in this achievement: "Commander Sacadura Cabral and Capt. Gago Coutinho crossed the South Atlantic by air in 1922, using the well-known Series III. " At the bottom of the advertisement is bold text stating "FAIREY AIRCRAFT, " along with smaller print identifying "The Fairey Aviation Company, Ltd. Hayes • Middlesex. " This suggests that Fairey Aircraft was either promoting its involvement or commemorating this aviation milestone through their marketing efforts.
