VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Airco, The Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited. It highlights the speed achievement of an Airco racing machine piloted by Captain Gathergood. The ad boasts that the aircraft left for Paris at 12:30 p. m. , carrying specially urgent dispatches and completed the flight from Hounslow to Le Bourget in just 1 hour and 20 minutes, achieving a remarkable speed of 180 miles per hour—the fastest recorded on the London-Paris route at that time. This excerpt from 'The Times' dated Friday, Oct 17, 1919, emphasizes both the technological prowess of Airco's airplanes and their importance in rapid communication during that era.
