VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image is a vintage advertisement celebrating the success of de Havilland aircraft in the 1233 miles King's Cup Air Race. The ad highlights that the first place was secured by "FOX MOTH" with pilot Capt. W. L. Hope, powered by a DH GIPSY IIIA ENGINE, achieving a speed of 124-125 MPH. It also lists other de Havilland aircraft models and their respective pilots who placed in the race, including COMPER SWIFT and PUSS MOTH types taking second and third places respectively, as well as additional PUSS MOTHs securing fourth through ninth positions. The advertisement emphasizes the dominance of de Havilland planes equipped with Gipsy engines in this event and notes that one of them won the Siddeley Trophy as well. The layout features bold typography to draw attention to the winning aircraft model names like FOX MOTH and PUSS MOTH along with highlighting their engine types such as GIPSY III or II engines. This type of ad would have been used to promote brand prestige, reliability, performance capabilities, and technological prowess during an era when air racing was highly influential on public perception of aviation brands.
