VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for the Percival Prince aircraft, showcasing its features and capabilities. The image displays an illustration of the twin-engine plane in flight, emphasizing its sleek design. The text within the ad highlights several selling points: "A new medium transport, providing exceptional passenger comfort, high performance and economy of operation, powered by two Alvis Leonides engines. " It mentions that with 2 crew, 8 passengers and 400 lbs luggage capacity, the Prince is designed for a range of 800 miles with a cruising speed of 180 m. p. h. at 10, 000 ft. , using only 55% power. At the bottom of the page is boldly printed "The Percival Prince, " indicating both the name of this model and its manufacturer—Percival Aircraft Ltd. , which was based in Luton Airport in Bedfordshire, England. The style and language used suggest that this advertisement likely dates back to around mid-20th century when such propeller-driven aircraft were common for regional transportation needs before being largely replaced by jet-powered planes.
