VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement or promotional poster celebrating a world record for long-distance flight. The text on the image reads "5340 MILES NON-STOP" at the top, indicating the distance of the flight achieved without stopping. Below that, it states "WORLD'S LONG-DISTANCE RECORD BROKEN BY THE FAIREY LONG-RANGE MONOPLANE (fitted with a Napier 'Lion' engine) EQUIPPED WITH A FAIREY METAL AIRSCREW. " This suggests that the aircraft was manufactured by Fairey and was equipped with both a Napier Lion engine and a metal airscrew (propeller) also made by Fairey. The date March 2, 1933 is noted below this statement, marking when this aviation milestone took place. At the bottom of the image are details about where to find more information: "The Fairey Aviation Company Limited, HAYES, MIDDLESEX. " In terms of visual elements, there's an image of what appears to be said monoplane in flight against an overcast sky background. The plane's design features high wings and two open cockpits which suggest it’s from an early era in aviation history. Overall, this caption captures both historical significance and technical aspects related to the achievement advertised in this promotional material.
