VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "Flying Boats" by The Supermarine Aviation Works, Ltd. , established in 1912 and based in Southampton, England. The ad features bold lettering with the words "Flying Boats. " prominently displayed at the top. It includes details about their location at Flying Waters and Slipway, Woolston, as well as their London Office address on Norfolk Street, Strand. Contact information such as telephone and cable codes are provided. The advertisement highlights the company's credentials: contractors to H. M. Admiralty, H. M. Air Ministry, The Royal Norwegian Navy Office, The Portuguese West Africa Company Ltd. , and others. It boasts of being originators of circular hull flying boat building in the country for eight years and lists impressive performance statistics for flying boats from 1917 to 1919. At the bottom center is an emblem featuring a stylized bird with outstretched wings above waves encircled by text proclaiming "The Supermarine Aviation Works, " emphasizing its establishment year (1912) again below it. Overall, this image captures an early 20th-century marketing effort promoting aviation technology—specifically seaplanes or 'flying boats'—and showcases historical aspects of aerospace engineering and advertising styles from that era.
