VISUAL DESCRIPTION
In this creative advertisement for Handley Page (Reading) Ltd., we see an illustration depicting a whimsical take on long-distance air travel—a marathon race where tiny figures are seen running towards a large propeller-driven aircraft labeled as covering a "35,000-mile Marathon." This metaphor highlights endurance and global reach while promoting one particular model—the Marathon feeder-liner—as capable and reliable over vast distances. It humorously compares passengers embarking on their journey to athletes participating in an epic event, thus associating adventure with routine flight operations.
