VISUAL DESCRIPTION
The image is a vintage advertisement for the United Aircraft Exports Corporation, featuring the Sikorsky S-42 flying boat. The caption reads "Record-making flight of Pan American's Airways Hornet Powered Sikorsky S-42. " It highlights the successful San Francisco-Honolulu commercial flight completed by one of Pan American Airways' aircraft, emphasizing the remarkable efficiency and design of both the Sikorsky plane and its Pratt & Whitney Hornet engines. The text in the ad boasts about specific features such as four fast-starting controllable pitch Hamilton Standard propellers and how these innovations contributed to a smooth transpacific flight that avoided night travel to ensure daylight arrival. The bottom portion of the ad reiterates the reliability and performance benefits provided by Pratt & Whitney power plants and Hamilton Standard Controllable Propellers. It also mentions collaboration with European manufacturers and Air Lines in their guided installation service to ensure optimal operation under Bureau of Aeronautics approved systems. Contact information for United Aircraft Exports Corporation is provided at the bottom, indicating an East Hartford, Connecticut address. Visually, above this detailed textual information is an impressive black-and-white photograph capturing a moment mid-flight where we see a sleek seaplane soaring over water with clouds in background—underscoring aviation achievements during this era.
