VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement celebrating a new world altitude record. The text reads "New World Altitude Record - Over 8 miles above the Earth with a 'Bristol' PEGASUS S-3 Air-cooled Radial Engine fitted in a Vickers 'Vespa' Biplane. " It features an image of the radial engine and the aircraft, as well as a portrait of Flight Lieutenant C. F. Uwins who achieved this feat on September 16th, 1932, reaching an altitude of 43, 976 feet (13, 404 meters), surpassing the existing height record by nearly 5, 000 feet. This achievement was subject to homologation by the F. A. I. , which is likely referring to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale or International Aeronautical Federation that sanctions official aviation records. Below are additional details about the engine being designed and manufactured by The Bristol Aeroplane Co. , Ltd. , located in Filton, Bristol.
