VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "Flying Boats" by The Supermarine Aviation Works, Ltd. , established in 1912 and located in Southampton, England. The ad features bold typography with the words "Flying Boats" prominently displayed at the top. An illustration of a flying boat with the word "Supermarine" on it dominates the upper right corner, suggesting an advanced aircraft design of its time. The advertisement highlights several key selling points and achievements: - It claims to be the originator of circular hull construction. - It boasts eight years as the longest experience of flying boat building in England. - Records are mentioned for speed performance during 1917 (100 M. P. H. ) and 1918 (118 M. P. H. ), indicating their technological advancements during World War I. - They hold a commercial flying boat certificate of airworthiness. Additionally, there's information about arranging demonstration flights either through their London office or at their works location. Contact details include addresses for both Woolston and London offices along with telephone numbers. At the bottom center is an emblem featuring text that reads "The Supermarine Aviation Works, Ltd. " encircling an image possibly representing one of their aircraft or logo elements. Below this emblem is further reinforcement of establishment year ("ESTAB. 1912") and location ("SOUTHAMPTON ENGLAND"). Overall, this image captures early aviation marketing efforts aimed at promoting military and commercial use of seaplanes designed by one of Britain's pioneering aerospace companies known for innovation in marine aircraft technology before transitioning into more famous wartime fighter designs like the Spitfire.
