VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a black and white vintage advertisement for Vickers-Armstrongs Limited, featuring an image of a biplane flying low over the water. The text above the image tells a heroic story titled "FIVE “EXTRAS, ” PLANE GOT HOME. " It recounts how the pilot of a Walrus air-sea rescue airplane discovered a Polish bomber crew adrift in their dinghy only a few miles from enemy coast. Despite limited space, all seven of the stranded men were taken aboard on top of the three-man crew already present in the plane, totaling nine people on board for the return flight. The narrative concludes with praise for this successful feat despite heavy odds. Below the image is further branding information indicating that it's an advertisement by Vickers-Armstrongs Limited with their head office located at "VICKERS HOUSE - BROADWAY - LONDON - S. W. 1".
