VISUAL DESCRIPTION
In this classic black-and-white advertisement, Alvis showcases its range of powerful radial aero engines named after mythological figures: Alcides, Pelides, Maeonides—alluding to strength and endurance befitting heroes from ancient tales. Positioned against a backdrop of clouds symbolizing their natural domain in the skies, these engines boast horsepower ratings from 700 to 1700 BHP (brake horsepower), indicating they catered to various classes of aircraft needs—from fighters to larger transport planes perhaps—during what appears to be an earlier era of flight technology.
