VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an advertisement for Supermarine, a company established in 1912 that designed and constructed naval flying boats and amphibian aircraft. The ad highlights the achievements of the Supermarine "Sea Lion II, " a single-seater amphibian flying boat that set the first official world's records for marine aircraft under the auspices of La Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. The records mentioned include: - Duration: 1 hour 34 minutes 51 seconds. - Longest Distance Accomplished: 230 miles. - Fastest Time over 100 Kilometres: 28 minutes 24 seconds. - Fastest Time over 200 Kilometres: 57 minutes. The image within the advertisement shows the "SEA LION" single-seater amphibian, which was declared winner of the International Race for the Schneider Cup at Naples in August, 1922. Below this information are listed several prestigious clients including H. M. Admiralty, H. M. Air Ministry, The Imperial Japanese Navy, Royal Norwegian Navy, The Royal Swedish Navy, The Chilean Navy, Portuguese Navy among others as well as foreign governments indicating their global reach and recognition. At the bottom left corner is a note about Western Cable Control systems used on all British air services to India and South Africa (5th edition), suggesting they also provided components or technology beyond complete aircraft manufacturing. The advertisement emphasizes Supermarine's heritage from Southampton, England.
