VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement celebrates the victory of Lt. David Rittenhouse, who won the Schneider Cup in 1923 while piloting a Curtiss Navy Racer, C.R.3., reaching speeds of 177.4 mph. The ad emphasizes that this success was fueled by Shell Spirit and showcases Shell's dominance in aviation races throughout the year, including prestigious events like the King's Cup and French Grand Prix. It serves as a testament to Shell's performance-enhancing products during an era when air racing captivated public interest and technological advancements were rapidly evolving.
