VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring an aviator, likely from the early to mid-20th century. The ad prominently displays the smiling face of the pilot wearing a leather flying helmet and goggles, suggesting that this individual is known for their aviation accomplishments. The text on the advertisement reads: "FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF MILES, AMY [last name obscured] HAS TRUSTED WAKEFIELD Castrol XXL IN HER DE HAVILLAND AEROPLANES. " This indicates that Amy has flown thousands of miles in de Havilland aircrafts and has relied on Wakefield Castrol XXL oil for her flights. On the left side of the image, there's a list showing various flight routes with dates next to them (although not all are fully visible), such as: - ENGLAND TO AUSTRALIA MAY-JUNE 1930 - ENGLAND TO JAPAN APRIL-MAY 1931 Below these texts, there's also an illustration of a map showcasing parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia with flight paths marked over it. Above the map sits an iconographic representation of an airplane. Overall, this image serves as both historical documentation of early aviation history and advertising material promoting engine oil by associating its reliability with successful long-distance flights made by this celebrated aviator named Amy.
