VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement for Napier engines, emphasizing their reliability and safety. The ad highlights the "Latest Achievements" of Royal Air Force Supermarine-Napier "Southampton" flying boats equipped with Napier engines, detailing their successful cruise from England to Australia, back to Singapore, and other notable feats such as flying 184, 000 engine miles without a mishap and maintaining a prearranged timetable throughout the journey. The ad also boasts about Flight-Lieut. D'Arcy Greig's record-breaking flight on November 4th, 1928 in a British-built Supermarine-Napier seaplane fitted with a Napier Aero engine that achieved an officially timed speed of over 319 mph—a remarkable feat at the time. At the bottom of the ad is the bolded name NAPIER with the tagline "The finest aero engine in the World, " followed by contact information for D. Napier & Son Ltd. , located in London. The design includes decorative elements like stylized borders around sections of text and an ornate frame surrounding the entire advertisement.
