VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for "FLYING BOATS AND SEA-GOING AMPHIBIANS" by Supermarine Aviation Works Ltd. , established in 1912. The ad features two black and white images of early amphibious aircrafts. The top image shows a biplane with pontoons, labeled as the "Sea-going Amphibian 'Seal' Mk. II Deck Landing Fleet Spotter, " which was used for naval operations and development in civil aviation. Below it, there's another photo of an aircraft floating on water, described as the "Sea-going Amphibian 'Seal' Mk. I Deck Landi[ng] Fleet Spotter. " The text highlights Supermarine's experience in designing and constructing naval aircraft, mentioning contracts to various military branches such as His Majesty's Air Ministry, Royal Sovereign Navy, Imperial Japanese Navy, among others. The advertisement also provides contact information including telephone number and telegrams address: "'SUPERMARIN, ' SOUTHAMPTON. " It emphasizes the company’s location at Southampton, England with bold lettering at the bottom right corner. Supermarine would later become famous for developing the iconic Spitfire fighter plane used during World War II.
