VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases "FIVE PROVED INSTRUMENTS FOR AIR NAVIGATION" by Henry Hughes & Son Ltd., a company that was located at 59, Fenchurch Street, London. The instruments featured are essential tools for early aviators and include an Aperiodic Compass, Wind Gauge Bearing Plate, Booth Bubble Sextant, Course and Distance Calculator, and Bygrave Slide Rule. These devices were critical for pilots to determine their position and navigate effectively before the advent of modern electronic navigation systems. The ad also includes a testimonial from Sir Hubert Wilkins in 'The Times' praising the effectiveness of the Bubble Sextant. This piece reflects the technological advancements of its time and provides insight into the history of aviation instrumentation.
