VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage map featuring the route of an early aviation milestone, the "Far East Flight" by one of the metal-constructed Supermarine Southampton flying boats. The map outlines a journey spanning approximately 28, 000 miles from England to destinations in Asia and back. Notable locations such as Plymouth, Alexandria, Basra, Bombay (now Mumbai), Singapore, Hong Kong, and many others are marked along the route. The image includes an illustration of a biplane flying boat superimposed on the upper right side over Asia. Text above this illustration states: "ONE OF THE METAL CONSTRUCTED SUPERMARINE 'SOUTHAMPTONS' - FAR EAST FLIGHT. " At the bottom of the image is promotional text for "THE FOUR METAL CONSTRUCTED 'SOUTHAMPTONS' ON THE FAR EAST FLIGHT OF 28, 000 MILES DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION BY THE SUPERMARINE AVIATION WORKS LTD. , SOUTHAMPTON ENG. " This indicates that four aircraft were involved in this ambitious flight and highlights their construction by Supermarine Aviation Works based in Southampton, England. The map itself provides geographical context for this historic event but does not include specific dates or detailed descriptions of each leg of the journey.
