VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Napier Aero Engines, emphasizing their indispensability "For Peace or War". The ad highlights the speed, reliability, and all-round efficiency of Napier engines, noting their predominance in the recent Royal Air Force Display. It boasts about the continuous service provided by these engines in commercial aviation—specifically mentioning that one engine has flown over 170, 000 miles (equivalent to 7, 000 hours flying) with Imperial Airways. The advertisement also underscores Napier's success in air racing; no other British aero engine had matched its record at the time of publication. Notable achievements include three successive Aerial Derbys and victories at the Schneider Trophy races. A key selling point mentioned is that the Napier is "the only British engine to have flown at the rate of over 211 m. p. h. " At the bottom of this black-and-white ad are images of two different models of water-cooled Napier Aero Engines offered by D. Napier & Son Ltd. , located in Acton, London.
