VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image shows a historical document announcing the results of the Hillman Trophy Air Race, which took place on Saturday, September 14th, 1929. The document lists the top five competitors by their placement, pilot name, and aircraft model: 1st Place: Mr. H. Buckingham flying a D. H. Fox Moth (Gipsy III) 3rd Place: Mr. P. H. Meadway in a Desoutter (Hermes II) 4th Place: Mr. T. Lipton piloting a D. H. Moth (Gipsy I) 5th Place: Miss F. F Crossley with her Comper Swift (Pobjoy) Each competitor is noted to have been using "standard grade NATIONAL BENZOLE MIXTURE" fuel for their airplanes. The bottom portion of the document features bold text proclaiming "Another triumph for BRITISH BENZOLE!" followed by information about National Benzole Co. , Ltd. , located at Wellington House, Buckingham Gate S. W. I. , indicating that this advertisement celebrates both the success of British pilots in aviation races and promotes National Benzole Mixture as a superior fuel choice for competitive flying. The overall tone suggests an era when air racing was popular and companies like National Benzole were keen to associate their products with technological achievements and sporting victories.
