VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the Miles "Falcon," a light aircraft celebrated for its impressive performance in the early to mid-20th century. The ad highlights the Falcon's victory at the King's Cup Air Race, where it achieved a top speed of 175 mph and cruised comfortably at 155 mph. Designed to carry three people plus luggage with security and comfort, this aircraft was powered by a 200 hp Gipsy Six engine, emphasizing efficiency and reliability. Priced at £1,325—an amount that would be considered quite affordable for an airplane during that era—the Miles Falcon exemplifies the innovative spirit of Phillips & Powis Aircraft Ltd., which later became part of Miles Aircraft Limited. This piece is not just an advertisement but also a historical document reflecting aviation achievements and marketing strategies from Reading Aerodrome in Woodley.
