VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is another historical advertisement from D. Napier & Son Ltd., boasting about setting a new world record for speed with their 450 H.P. Aero Engine on October 4th, 1922. The ad details Mr. J.H. James' feat at Etampes where he reached an astonishing speed over one kilometer, marking it as "the world's fastest speed" at that time for flight at an incredible rate of 211½ M.P.H.. This achievement not only celebrated individual excellence but also highlighted the company’s contribution to advancing aerial technology.
