VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Percival Prince aircraft, highlighting its extensive testing phase. The ad boasts "40, 000 MILES OF TESTS OVERSEAS IN ALL CLIMATES, " indicating that the plane has been rigorously tested in various environmental conditions around the world. A map in the background shows multiple flight paths across continents and oceans, emphasizing the global nature of these tests. The text below explains that 600 hours of test flying covering over 50, 000 miles have been successfully completed on this particular model—the Percival "Prince. " It's described as "the most modern British executive airliner, " powered by two 520 hp Alvis Leonides engines. Further details mention overseas proving flights encompassing African and Indian Continents to establish the ability of the "Prince" to operate efficiently in all climates. The conclusion drawn from these tests is that they set a new operational standard previously unmatched by aircraft in this class. At the bottom are details about Percival Aircraft Limited with locations listed as Luton, Bedfordshire, England, and Toronto, Canada. An illustration of a flying Percival Prince airplane adds visual interest to this historical aviation advertisement.
