VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for The Supermarine Aviation Works Ltd. , with the proprietors listed as Vickers Aviation Limited, Southampton. The ad emphasizes "RELIABILITY AND SPEED" as essential features of modern aircraft, and it boasts about the "SUPREMACY OF 'SUPERMARINE'" in design and construction. This supremacy has been demonstrated by several achievements: - R. A. F. Far East flight of 27, 000 miles - Winning the International Schneider Trophy in 1922, 1927, and 1929 - Setting the world's speed record of 357. 7 M. P. H. The advertisement also mentions that new construction will include multi-engined marine aircraft combining these qualities. At the bottom is an image showing a biplane seaplane on water, which represents one of their aircraft models likely used to achieve some of these feats. Below this image are additional words: "SOUTHAMPTON'S METAL CONSTRUCTION, " indicating that metal construction techniques were employed in Southampton where these aircraft were built.
