VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases the Short Calcutta flying boat, emphasizing its status as a pioneering British all-metal aircraft. The ad highlights the plane's role in connecting the British Empire, with a map illustrating an extensive flight route to India. It boasts of Imperial Airways' selection of this model for "the longest commercially operated sea route in the world," spanning 1,700 miles. Key features such as capacity for 15 passengers and a total payload of 4,600 lbs are noted alongside performance specs like a cruising speed of 100 mph and range of six hours on full load. This piece is not just an ad but also a historical document reflecting aviation advancements and imperial connectivity during that era.
