VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an advertisement from the British ADC Aircraft, celebrating a milestone flight from London to Africa and back in one day. The header reads "LONDON—AFRICA IN A DAY" with details indicating the journey started at Croydon at 6 a. m. and reached Tangier by 7 p. m. , suggesting a rapid travel time for that era. Below this headline, there's information about the total distance covered (3000 miles) and flying time (28 hours). The image includes a map showing the route taken from London down to Tangier in North Africa, highlighting how impressive such a feat would have been at that time. The text below provides additional details about the aircraft used for this historic flight: it was a De Havilland 50 equipped with a 240 h. p. Siddeley 'Puma' engine supplied by Aircraft Disposal Company Ltd. , piloted by Mr. Alan J. Cobham. Further achievements of Puma engines are listed, including success in King’s Cup Air Race of 1924, completing 1, 000 miles at an average speed of over 106 mph; circuiting Australia covering 8, 000 miles in just 25 days’ flying time; and winning machine traffic competition in Gothenburg during 1923. At the bottom is contact information for Aircraft Disposal Company based on Regent House, Kingsway, London. Overall this document serves as both historical evidence of aviation progress during the early part of the twentieth century and as promotional material showcasing technological advancements and reliability offered by ADC Aircraft through their use of Puma engines.
