VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image appears to be a vintage advertisement for de Havilland, a British aviation manufacturer. The ad features an illustration of four propeller-driven aircraft flying in formation with their contrails intersecting behind them. The text on the advertisement highlights the technical aspects of the airplanes, specifically mentioning "hollow-steel-blade constant-speed feathering and reversing propellers. " It also notes that these technologies have been chosen for a fleet of 25 "Bristol" Britannia airliners (referred to as "four 'Bristol'") powered by Proteus gas turbines, ordered by The British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC). At the bottom, the company's name, de Havilland, is prominently displayed along with its logo. The style and content suggest this ad dates back to when turboprop engines were at the forefront of aviation technology and BOAC was actively expanding its fleet with modern aircraft like those produced by de Havilland.
