VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement celebrating the achievement of aviator Jean Batten, who completed the first solo flight from England to New Zealand in 11 days and 2 hours, from October 5th to 16th. The ad features an image of Jean Batten wearing a pilot's cap and goggles, smiling confidently. Below her portrait is bold text proclaiming her choice of Wakefield Patent Castrol XXL oil for her Percival Gull aircraft (D. H. Gipsy Engine). The background shows a stylized map highlighting the two countries connected by this historic flight. This ad not only commemorates a significant moment in aviation history but also serves as marketing material for Castrol oil, associating their product with pioneering achievements and reliability.
