VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring an imaginative and futuristic flying machine, labeled as "The Development of Aviation in 1918. " The illustration shows a large, tank-like aircraft with multiple propellers and riveted hull, designed for both highway and skyway travel. Emblazoned on the side are the words "Wakefield Castrol R (heavy), " suggesting that this vehicle uses Castrol oil, which is marketed as "the one oil for all engines. " Below it reads "Prompt dispatch can now be made, " indicating efficiency in transportation. The caption at the bottom describes the vehicle as a "Super Terra-Aerial Dreadnought Transporting a 'Tank'". This reflects early 20th-century enthusiasm for technological progress in aviation and transport.
