VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image features a vintage advertisement for the Handley Page biplane, highlighting its journey from London to Constantinople. The text at the top reads "LONDON to CONSTANTINOPLE on THE HANDLEY PAGE BIPLANE". Below this title is an illustration of the mentioned aircraft—a biplane with two sets of wings, one above the other. The body of the text serves as an announcement from "THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY" and details a successful air attack by Handley Page bombers on objectives in Constantinople during July 1918. It emphasizes that despite adverse weather conditions and being undertaken at night, one of these bombers was able to fly back safely to base after completing its mission over 1, 000 miles away. Additional information provided includes that the total distance flown was nearly 2, 000 miles over enemy territory in less than forty hours, which included rest periods. The notice also boasts about carrying heavy bombs and returning with considerable weight due to unused bombs and engine spares. At the bottom are contact details for Handley Page Ltd. , listing them as aeroplane manufacturers based in Cricklewood, N. W. 2. , along with their telegraphic address in London and telephone number (Hampstead 1200).
